It's summer there, he should have carried nothing but short shorts and a knoife. What was he afraid of, ticks? Also what's with the face camouflage, was he larping as a soldier?

Not trying to diminish this guy's accomplishment but is this really considered a traverse?

You want him to cross a large distance in antarctica carrying all his own supplies, with no communication to the outside world in some shitty milsurp jacket. God your fucking stupid

Colin you even had supplies caches pre set in place prior to the actual journey began, you could have relied on fishing and raw penguin meat instead but no, you had to take the easy route. Sorry pal but when that old frog dude reaches the Caribbean on his orange barrel nobody will care about your great trip anymore.

Personally I like being outdoors because of nature. I like trees, plants and wildlife. Don't get why you would go somewhere inhospitable to life.

i was pretty annoyed with his claim of "crossing antarctica" when i saw his route. that's like crossing from the gulf of mexico to the pacific and saying you hiked across north america. it meets the letter of the law, but not the spirit.

he did. that's why the path is a V. he calculated the shortest route he could take to start on one shore, tag the pole, and end on another shore.

imo "cross" needs to be a straight line, through the pole.

Well I stand corrected. Still his whole trip is basically flat. He cuts out the Beardmore Glacier and the entire Barrier That's 1/3 the trip one way and eliminating 10,000' of elevation change. Nevermind not having to lay his own depots.He's no Shackleton or Scott.

He reached the pole of the earth but not the continent.
If the south pole was 100ft from shore would ti still count?

The center of the continent seems relevant if you're going to claim to cross it.
The geographic south pole is completely irrelevant to crossing Antarctica other than being well know and good for publicity.
It's only coincidence that the continent somewhat overlaps it.

Colin already did that. In fact, he climbed the highest peaks on every continent in record time.
