On the 18th July myself and a few friends in New Zealand challenged ourselves to do the Waikato Draught Tough Guy and Gal Challenge. The event was for the first time held at Linton Army Camp about 3 hours south of where I live in Turangi, New Zealand.

We are proud to announce the patronage of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, for our 2011 Antarctica expedition.

In commemoration of Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen, Bancroft Arnesen Explore will retrace the footsteps of pioneer Roald Amundsen to the South Pole, 100 years after his arrival. Water – access to fresh water – is our planet’s hidden crisis, and the educational theme of the expedition. Explorers Anne Bancroft and Liv Arnesen will take on this crisis in their latest adventure, leading an all-woman team that represents the key water challenges on each continent. Their journey will be the centerpiece of a global awareness and outreach program that will spur us all to join hands in solving our global water crisis.

We have now relaunched the home of Bancroft Arnesen Explore with a new website, new logo and a new expedition.

If you had not noticed, things have changed a bit. A number of pages are still work in progress – come back frequently as more content about our activities and the coming expedition becomes available. Essential information about the 2011 expedition “In the footsteps of Amundsen, in the spirit of Nansen” is available immediately by accessing the 2011 Expedition link.

Our aim with this new site is to focus on the expedition team’s activities through blog entries, live news, picture galleries and videos. The site also incorporates social media features such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. As this is just the start, more features are to come, including greater user interaction.

Many thanks to the team at Creuna, who has put volunteer time and creativity into developing the YourExpedition Blog’s visual identity.

Warm regards,

Ann Bancroft & Liv Arnesen / Bancroft Arnesen Explore
