The Antarctic Peninsula, a jagged finger jutting away from the Antarctic continent towards Cape Horn, is a dangerous lure for polar adventurers. Prone to volatile weather patterns, unstable sea ice, sheer glaciers and crevasse-riddled mountains, no one has ever managed to cross this peninsula unassisted.
It is considered one of the last great challenges for adventurers who rely on courage and strength alone. It is a challenge two friends, farmer Pete Bland and photographer Jay Watson, are determined to overcome.
Pete, the first Australian to reach both North and South Poles without assistance, and Jay, a participant of five previous Antarctic expeditions, are attempting to overcome the odds and cross the Peninsula in just 23 days — with only basic survival tools, kayaks and skis.
