The Impossible First: Colin O'Brady talks about his project to become the first man in history to cross the Antarctica solo, on foot
The world record holder and pro endurance athlete reveals how he will maintain his body warmth and fight physical decline across 70 days in -40 degrees with 200mph freezing winds.
Daredevil endurance athlete Colin O'Brady, who has three world records under his belt, is now embarking on one of the most challenging and life-threatening expeditions in the history of mankind. He is attempting to clinch his fourth world record by becoming the first person ever to cross Antarctica solo, without any outside support or assistance. During this pioneering project, which commences November 1, O'Brady will be pulling a 400lb sled with fuel, food, and supplies necessary to keep him alive for 70 days, without the help of sled dogs, kites, resupplies, or other humans, thus making this mission completely "human powered".
