For more than 10 years, Doug Stoup has been guiding teams across the frozen Arctic Ocean and Antarctica. From numerous 'Last Degree' treks to his most recent 660-mile epic journey to the South Pole.

Doug has received media coverage from CNN, BBC and Time Magazine to Sports Illustrated Adventure and National Geographic Traveler. He was also featured in Warren Miller's film, STORM.

Unique to Doug's ICE AXE Expeditions are daily audio and video coverage via satellite. Family, friends, schools and sponsors can all follow the team's progress over internet; and on many adventures, even interact through email questions and call-ins.

Now more than ever... Recent climate studies show evidence of warmer temperatures and sustained ice melt in the Arctic. Perhaps in the not-so-distant future, the days of skiing to the North Pole will be a thing of the past. NOAA Arctic Report Card | NP webcam

Antarctic Cruise Coming in Fall 2009 Spend your days trekking, skiing, snow boarding, or just enjoying the incredible expanse of wonder that the Antarctic Peninsula provides. Abundantly rich in wildlife, the southern ocean is a constant drama of survival and stealth. Leopard and fur seals, minke whales, countless species of penguin and great flocks of seabirds. The vastness of the continent is indescribable- icebergs and glaciers create a photographer's dream and the long summer days provide plenty of time to take it all in.
