The latest expedition of explorer Sir
Ranulph Fiennes will see him take on
one of the last remaining polar
challenges by attempting to cross
Antarctica in winter – believed to be
the coldest journey on Earth.

Seymour Manufacturing (SMI) is
among the sponsors and supporters
making the six-month expedition
possible. The manufacturer of
thermal insulation products – that is
more often associated with the food
retail, processing and manufacturing
industries – will provide bespoke
covers made from its Tempro
material. It will cover the expedition’s
two specially engineered cabooses
that will act as living quarters and the
base for a range of scientific work.

SMI will also provide storage and
covers for the two D6N tractor units
that have been adapted to tow the
cabooses.
