Xtreme Expeditions: Dog Sledging The Can-American Border
December 10, 2008
Xtreme Expeditions generally takes a look at some of the current expeditions taking place around the world. The first installment looked at Jon Bowermaster and his return to the Antarctic continent. The second installment will be taking a look at an adventure that YOU still have the opportunity to join.
If you have ever dreamed of being driven around the arctic by a pack of dogs aka. Jack London style, then you will get a kick out of the adventure being proposed by Snowball Expeditions. Snowball Expeditions is currently offering a dog sledging adventure that will trace part of the Canadian-United States border. This will be your chance to mush a team of dogs in the frozen tundra of arctic like terrain–if you have ever been in northern Minnesota or Montana, then you know the winters can be quite dreadful and rival anything the arctic has to offer.
Xtreme Expedition: Jon Bowermaster Heads to the Antarctic
December 2, 2008
Jon Bowermaster will be heading back to the Antarctic just days away from the one year anniversary of The Explorer sinking in the same region last year. The Explorer sank with 154 people originally onboard in one of the world’s harshest environments. This ship was designed to be the first Antarctic tourist ship. It’s main job would be to carry vacation adventurers to the far reaches of Antarctica. Unfortunately an iceberg stood in the way and refused to budge. The ship on the otherhand ended up sinking.
An accident like this in Antarctica usually spells disaster for those onboard. Luckily, Jon Bowermaster (and a few others) happened to be in the region and were able to help rescue those that found themselves afloat in the freezing waters off of Antarctica’s peninsula. Nobody lost their life.
