First of all, good luck. It's something i'd love to do and I hope it all works out for you.
There is an Irish guy who does expeditions and training for them called Pat Falvey . I see on his website that he's organising an Antartic trip as well so it might be beneficial to contact him.

can't see why he'd make it up ???
That Pat Falvey expedition looks fantastic. Would your expenses be covered if you were selected to get involved I wonder. How come they don't need you to have good experience in similar terrain? Is it so you have to pay to do their training courses?
