South Pole Expedition 2017 – Why?
I made a choice. Nine years ago a dying patient I was working with shared a life-transforming message with me: “Astrid, live while you are alive”…
My dream is to reach the South Pole. And I want to inspire you to follow yours! We have one life, so now is the time!
The dying patient
“Astrid, you have to live while you are alive”…
In my work as a nurse specialized in cancer, these are the last words one of my patients told me.
His biggest regret was to lose his time here and not following his dreams.
He kept pushing it ahead and also being afraid what others might say. And he was afraid he couldn’t make it, and now it was too late. It’s a moment I will never forget. This conversation did something to me.
Me, together with Sivert, you will be reminded of the same lesson that patient gave me. To begin living and follow your dream.
Follow your dream!
Your goal can seem way to big and out of reach. But you have to believe in it, And you will grow into it.
Nothing is impossible until you have tried, and this is what it’s all about. Dare to try, take a few risk and see the opportunity. No matter what other people might say otherwise.
Your dream can come true
By joining our journey to the South Pole, we hope to inspire you to make something out of your own dreams. To do something about it.
No matter how small or big, we would be happy if you would share it with us, and with other people. By supporting us, you will have the option to write and share your dream with the world!
If you just want to cheer on us…
We need cheering from a big crowd. If you want to join without pursuing your own goal, that’s fine. We truly need you also. Somebody have to sit tight on their couch to cheer us up. And we will go on by your motivation also.
Will we make it?
Will we make to “be the first woman to trail the Roald Amundsen route to the South Pole”? To make new history with our polar expedition on mark Norway on the map one more time…?
Will you join us in this historical journey?
We need your help in this
Your photo can be blended in to the coolest polar sled being pulled to the South Pole. Along 2050km over 80 days.
In our expedition newsletters we will inspire you tell you all about our progress and things we are working on. During the expedition you will receive updates directly from Antarctica.
We need everyone of you to push us forward and motivate us along the way. And we will work hard to reach our goal and to bring you along this adventure.

From Bay of Whales to the South Pole
107 years after this trail was conquered by Roald Amundsen, we are working towards having Astrid to be the first woman to follow his route.
Together with Jan Sverre Sivertsen.

My journey started a day at the hospital where I work as an oncology nurse. I talked with a man whom I had followed over time – Read More

Standing at the South Pole in 2011 is a bitter sweet memory. A fantastic trip did not end as I hoped. Instead of ski in triumph to the pole, we covered the final stretch by airplane – Read More
