Two-Man Expedition to Geographic South Pole
Earlier this month Adam Wilton and Gavin Booth set off on a two man expedition to the geographic South Pole.

With no support or re-supply they will each be pulling sleds of 120 kg with all their expedition equipment. Average Antarctic temperatures will be from – 25 °C to -40 °C.
