Expeditions
Aaron Linsdau the second only American to ever solo trek to the South Pole on skis, covering over 700 miles. Everything he needed was in two sleds, dragged across the wastelands of Antarctica. Along the way, he ran into an amazing assortment of difficulties, putting him up to the ultimate challenge to reach the pole.
Unbelievable sastrugi blockaded him. Gale force storm winds were routine. Skiing blind in white-outs across dangerous terrain became a daily activity. Antarctica is not for the faint of heart.
- He started without assistance
- And planned no resupply
- All doing this alone
