South Pole Traverse
OK, I couldn't begin to do these guys justice for
the feat they've accomplished. I just wish
they had a web page I could direct you too, but
there is not one I am aware of. Try googling
south pole traverse and see what you come up with.
After four years (that is four attempts) they
finally made it from McMurdo to the South Pole with
a traverse of seven tractors, and all their fuel and
supplies. The final attempt took them about 40
+ days to travel over 1,100 miles. These guys
travelled over the Ross Island Sea Shelf, through
the Trans-Antarctic mountains, over some of the
largest glaciers in the world and up onto the Polar
Plateau at 9,000 feet. What a journey.
They were kind enough to share these photos with me
to post here for you.
