Description
NorthWinds is owned and operated by Matty McNair who has made her home in Iqaluit, on south Baffin Island, since 1990, with her kids Sarah and Eric.
Matty contributed to polar history in 1997 when she led the first commercial polar expedition, guiding the first women’s expedition to the Geographic North Pole. She has since guided 3 expeditions to the South Pole, and a dog sledding expedition to the North Pole.
In 2004-5 Matty with her kids, Sarah and Eric and friends Conrad & Hilary Dickenson, completed, ”Kites On Ice” an un-supported, un-resupplied expedition from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, 600 nautical miles, in 52 days, pulling pulks with a starting weight of 230 lbs. Sarah (age 18) and Eric (age 20) became the youngest to ski to the South Pole. Sarah & Matty were the first Canadian Women to ski to the South Pole, and Eric and Matty were the first Americans to ski un-resupplied. At the South Pole they picked up a re-supply and kited back in a record 17 days, doing a record 107 nautical miles in one day! To read more see: www.kitesonice.ca
