North Face Athletes Xavier de Le Rue and Lucas Debari have already begun a monthlong expedition to Antarctica. The trip is being called Mission Antarctic and will take them to the desolate Antarctic mountain ranges in hopes of exploring and riding the ancient glacial lines that cover the South Pole. Updates are being posted online, I get the impression that short video clips will be released as the month goes on.

From The North Face:
“One year in the making, Mission Antarctic is a journey of snowboard exploration. Team snowboarders Xavier de le Rue and Lucas DeBari will set sail from the Falklands, through the Drake Passage and around the Fjords of the Antarctic peninsula in search of the best lines to ride on the continent.
“I went there out of curiosity, but I still remember that surprise on the first morning when I opened my eyes over the peninsula. Antarctica is the most powerful, beautiful, unexplored skiing spot on the whole planet.” – The North Face snowboarder, Xavier De Le Rue”
