Prince Harry, Alexander Skarsgård, Dominic West making final preparations before trek to South Pole
By Jessica Bell, 11/10/2013

Prince Harry, True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgård, and 300 actor Dominic West are making the final preparations for their race to the South Pole, which begins later this month.
According to TMZ, Harry, Alexander, and Dominic will each lead a separate team 208 miles through the subzero Antarctic terrain in a race to the South Pole for the charity Walking with the Wounded. The teams should reach their destination in about three weeks, around December 17th.

The three men have been training with polar guide Inge Solheim. They have been practicing ice climbing, skiing and hiking around the world. Scarsgård has been training in the Santa Monica Mountains and in Norway, while Harry and Dominic put their skills to the test in Iceland.

Hello! Magazine reports that the three teams will begin in Novo, Antarctica where they will take a few days to acclimate and prepare for the race.

The Walking with the Wounded charity raises funds to donate to wounded veterans across the globe. Several members participating in the trek will be veterans who were injured either physically or mentally in the line of duty.

Prince Harry has participated in Walking with the Wounded treks in the past. In 2011, he traveled to the North Pole for five days, and in 2012, he was a patron of the Everest Expedition.

i agree, tmz is annoying

Yep, sometimes the actors want to be left alone and they just follow them everywhere.

bring me home · 11-13-2013, 09:33 PM

And the questions they ask are just plain stupid.

Anyways, back to this man and the wonderful charity

It's a good thing that Alex is from Sweden. He won't be freezing in Antarctica.
