IRIDIUM

As the name suggests, Iridium South Pacific is primary sponsor of Iridium IceTrek and rarely does a partnership fit so well.

Iridium funding has helped the adventurers realise their dream of successfully retracing this historical journey, while educating the world about Antarctica. Iridium is also the realisation of a dream - that one day people all over the world can communicate using one phone, one number.

There remains very little 'new ground' on which the modern day explorer can tread. New ground these days lies in the delivery and dissemination of an adventure to the greater public. One of the hallmarks of Iridium IceTrek is its focus on maintaining daily communication with the outside world.

Iridium will provide the team with two Iridium satellite phones and an Iridium pager.

The restrictive logistics and demanding environmental conditions of an unsupported polar trek provide a unique opportunity to illustrate the compactness, portability and robustness of the Iridium handset. Iridium IceTrek is therefore an ideal platform for Iridium to showcase the real life benefits of this revolutionary new product.

The Iridium mobile satellite phone also affords the team 'peace of mind' in this hostile and dangerous environment, to keep in touch with family, and to share the journey's highs and lows with the outside world through phone calls to print, radio, television and electronic media.
