American adventurer, Colin O?Brady becomes the first person to complete a solo trek across Antarctica
In an odd but joyous affair, a man, Colin O’Brady has completed a solo trek across the Antarctica.
The Ameriacan adventurer completed this feat without any assistance whatsoever and the trek took him all of 54 days to complete. He walked across nearly 1,000-mile (1,600-kilometer) crossing of the frozen continent from north to south.

His voyage was tracked by GPS, and live updates of the trip were provided daily on his website colinobrady.com.
At the end of his journey, Colin took to his Instagram to share the news. He wrote, “I accomplished my goal: to become the first person in history to traverse the continent of Antarctica coast to coast solo, unsupported and unaided.”

“While the last 32 hours were some of the most challenging hours of my life, they have quite honestly been some of the best moments I have ever experienced,” he wrote.
“I was locked in a deep flow state the entire time, equally focused on the end goal, while allowing my mind to recount the profound lessons of this journey. I’m delirious writing this as I haven’t slept yet.” 


O’Brady and Rudd set off on cross-country skis dragging sleds called pulks which weighed nearly 400 pounds (180 kilograms). O’Brady reached the South Pole on December 12, the 40th day of his journey. He got to the finish point on the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday after covering a total of 921 miles
