La Grande Percée will be divided into three major expeditions over the next 20 months:
Greenland Expedition
April 25th- June 10th, 2021
The first is a kite skiing trek across Greenland from South to North. Using the power of the wind and pulling a sled weighing 265 lbs, Seb will traverse 1 500 miles across the frozen landmass. He will also contribute to scientific research about the impact of climate change in Greenland by collecting snow samples during his journey.
The Pole-2-Pole Expedition
April 4-16th, 2022
Seb will ski the last degree to reach the North Pole, a short 12-day expedition that captures the essence of polar traveling with several challenges to overcome: ice pressure ridges, open water, and skiing against the drift created by the wind and currents in the Arctic Ocean.
November 12th, 2022- January 5th, 2023
In Antarctica, Seb will ski 750 miles to the South Pole, and will then ascend Mount Vinson—the highest peak on Antarctica.
After finishing this expedition, Seb will have completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam, an accomplishment attained by very few, intrepid mountaineers and polar explorers who have successfully summited the Everest and reached both Poles by ski. In addition, Seb will have reached the summit of the highest summit on each continent, joining a select group of mountaineers in the 7 Summits Club.
The Pole-2-Pole Expedition will have real-time media coverage. We will draw attention both to the expeditions as well as our mission to help impoverished communities who are bearing the brunt of climate change. Our goal is to raise money to help vulnerable communities through a partnership with the United Way.
We anticipate having a number of sponsors for the second and third parts of this adventure.
But to kick off part one we are asking you to become a part of our team. Your financial support will help pay for the travel, the equipment, and other expenses related to La Grande Percée.
We are extremely grateful to see you joining forces with us, always moving forward.
Thank you!
