Ice Warrior opens new expedition basecamp in Princetown

Ice Warrior’s new state-of-the-art expedition basecamp is now open in The Duchy Centre, Princetown and includes an expedition training and education centre, as well as a wide range of outfitting stock of high-quality clothing and equipment for outdoor adventures.

The basecamp has been set up by polar explorer, Jim McNeill, who started Ice Warrior in 2001 and since then has trained over 350 ordinary people to live, work and play in the world’s extreme polar environments. He has also undertaken seven flagship expeditions and the eighth flagship expedition, #Lastpole, is being planned to reach the inaccessible North Pole in 2019, in what is being billed as the biggest, boldest, bravest and most important expedition of our time. Much of the training programme will be taking place on Dartmoor and in Svalbard, Norway.
