Trek organisers Walking with the Wounded said West has already completed "secret training" on glaciers in Iceland.
Confirming his intention to join the trek in November, West, 43, said: "I agreed to do a walk to the South Pole with these wounded soldiers in December, so I'm trying to train for that at the moment."
A team from the United States will join the pair in the 208-mile (335km) trek in the Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge.
