Colin O’Brady’s solo and unsupported ski expedition across Antarctica earlier this year may have split the exploration community to a degree, but there is no doubt that it was an epic and worthy challenge. If you had any doubt that that was the case, then look no further than this video for evidence. It takes us out onto the frozen continent with the American adventurer as he braves the wind, snow, and cold. The clip is too short for my liking –– I’d love a full documentary –– but it is a great look at what it takes to make this kind of journey in one of the harshest environments on the planet.
