One of the expeditions we followed closely this past Antarctic season was Mike Horn’s attempt to cross traverse the continent solo by kite ski. He was of course successful in that endeavor, and is now pushing forward with the second part of his Pole2Pole journey, in which he is circumnavigating the planet north to south via both Poles. In this video, we get a profile of Horn and his past accomplishment, as well as an inside look at at his Antarctic traverse. If you’re not aware of what drives this man, you’ll learn a lot more about him here. If you already know Mike and his ambitious journeys, you’ll likely come away even more impressed.
