Founded by
Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert, Prof. Hugo Decleir and Prof. André Berger in 2002, the Brussels - based International Polar Foundation provides a novel interface between science and society, and was recognised by Belgian Royal Statute as a foundation for the public good in 2002.
Similar to the slegdes used by
Belgian polar explorer Alain Hubert on his expeditions, our sledges allow expedition members to carry a considerable weight in equipment and supplies when heading into the Antarctic wildnerness on foot.
