Prince Harry Gears Up for Arctic Expedition

He has a wild weekend ahead of him with his brother?s bachelor party, but Prince Harry is taking on an even wilder adventure next week.

The 26-year-old is set to accompany a team of wounded military servicemen on their unaided hike to the North Pole, where temperatures dip as low as negative 70 degrees.

A rep for Harry told Us Magazine, ?The Prince -- Patron of the charity Walking with the Wounded -- will join the group at their base camp in in Longyearbyen, north Norway on March 29, where he will undertake three days of training with the team," the rep said in a statement. "The Prince will then trek with the team for five days as they commence their expedition high above the Arctic Circle."

The Walking Wounded team, which includes four soldiers who suffered life-altering injuries, will continue on for another three weeks, says the rep. At the end of their mission, they will have covered 200 miles of frozen Arctic Ocean on foot pulling their own equipment.
