Insurance- Antarctica skiing and climbing 2-Mar-2012 At 9:55:19 PM vwills

More updates (hopefully this will help someone else in future):

Travelex : only for US residents of if booked through US company who enter an arrangement with them

Cas and Jonesy: too busy replying to adoring fans or perhaps eating to regain weight (:P, I only emailed them yesterday )

Chartis: The only company in Australia I could see that doesnt exclude Antarctica but doesnt cover climbing (or anything to do with ropes)- do they know about glacier travel? Nor do they cover sailing. Not interested in discussing extended cover.

Global Rescue: Not an insurer, but do cover rescue, and repatriation if you require hospitalisation. Are currently reviewing their ability to offer a Polar service. But the most helpful company yet.

And finally a lead: MHG which does cover climbing to 4500m it seems, and sailing and Antarctica but with maximum cover total of $50 000.
