BEHIND THE COVER
Earlier this year, Kiwi Mike Dawson joined the Antarctic Heritage Trust
NZ's Inspiring Explorers Expedition to the South Pole to celebrate
Roald Amundsen's 150th birthday. Here he explains when this photo
was taken....

YOU CAN DO A LOT IN AN ADVENTURE CAP!
Last year it was Mt. Taranaki, this year it was Mt. Ruapehu for
8 year old Mick Van de Zeeuw. The weather conditions were
perfect for the climb, with sun and light winds forecasted. After
his adventures on the Northern Circuit in the snow last spring,
he was amazed with the bare landscape on the mountain in
the summer, wearing his Adventure cap. Proud and excited
to finally be there after so many adventures close by! As
the clouds came in at the top, it was the “easy” track down
jumping from rock to rock via Restful ridge towards Knoll
Ridge before coming back at the SkyWaka.
"Taken on New Year's Eve during a break on a freezing Antarctic day,
as we traveled across the Polar Plateau towards the South Pole. It was
one of the coldest days of the expedition, any exposed skin quickly
became frost nipped and at this stage, we were 45 days into our
Expedition. We were all tired but excited to celebrate the New Year in
one of the most remote places on the planet."
