Last Antarctic season, Rune Gjeldnes set off alone from Novo and skied and kited to the South Pole. Not stopping there, he continued onwards until he'd crossed the continent. At a little under 5000 km, the journey presents the longest unsupported ski trip ever made.
Record or no record, the trip was a journey of discovery and, to me, represents the skill and mental agility of someone who's really worked at, and mastered, their game.
I was inspired having read it.
The book's beautifully presented with beautiful photos and lots of info invaluable to anyone planning a kiting expedition. You can buy Beyond the Poles at www.seal.no |
