No, because he's a Britbong. Anglos literally can't into arctic environment.

But a one-legged, one-armed teen Pollack did that, so go figure how it goes.

I think you mean Scott died exploring south pole, a combination of bad planning and horrendous conditions. Shackleton was actually fairly competent and got his men out alive. Amundsen was a god tier though

How to spot a Britbong? He will try to spin UTTER FUCKING FAILURES as heroic victories and sacrifices. Scott was a fucking moron with blatantly bad planning, it was obvious even back in the day when the expedition was going that they have no chances of pulling this.

As for god-tier: Nansen. Amundsen was simply good.

Where I live we have ice fields and nothing sucks more ass when walking on a glacier and having to turn around and go back trying to get around crevasses.

Didn't Borge Ousland become the first person crossing Antartica solo and unsupported in 1996/97?
And this Britbong even takes a route 1000 kilometres shorter
