New Year's Day, 2009. Somewhere on the bottom of the world, six teams of adventurers and explorers have gathered to race one another, on foot, to the South Pole. It is the first time that anyone has undertaken such a race in a hundred years; the first time since the great Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, beat Captain Scott to the same goal in 1911.Read More

    For the first time since Scott's ill-fated race to Antarctica against Amundsen in 1913 a handful of teams from around the world have been granted permission to race each other on foot across Antarctica -- starting on New Year's Day and dragging their food their tents (and their rubbish) with them. This time however two hardnut Norwegian teams will be up against double-Olympic Gold medallist James Cracknell and TV presenter Ben Fogle. In 2005 James and Ben rowed the Atlantic together (16 hours a day at the oars for 50 days). This time they tackle a challenge that is hard-wired into the British psyche: the race for the pole. And in a last-minute twist they will also be taking with them a member of the public as their third team member. ; ; ; ;
