  • Summary

  • World records are what bring people to Antarctica. When Colin O’Brady claimed an ‘Impossible First’ skiing solo across Antarctica, it exposed cracks in the club-like polar explorer community.
    Thomas Bywater looks into what a world first mean to polar explorers - and how far would they go to chase them?

    With thanks to Fiann Paul, Colin O’Brady and Mark Jones
