Last year, Antarctic skier Alan Lock traveled 570 miles (917 km) from the Ronne-Filchner Ice Shelf to the South Pole in just 43 days. In doing so, he became the first visually impaired person to complete such a demanding journey in one of the challenging environments on Earth. The inspiring video below is a half-hour long documentary that tells Alan’s story and gives us a glimpse of what an Antarctic expedition is all about. Sit back and enjoy the journey with him as he pushes on to the bottom of the world.
