Rivalry is one of the factors pushing me. While my back was turned, the Norwegians managed to achieve the first Arctic crossing in winter. I didn’t want the same to happen in the Antarctic.
- Sir Ranulph Fiennes
In 1993 he became the first man to WALK across the whole continent of Antarctica, unsupported. It took him just 93 days. He had a nutritionist companion to help him cross the continent on foot.
