Børge Ousland and Thomas Ulrich skiing in whiteout on the southern Patagonian Icecap in 2003.
The couple succeeded in crossing the Patagonian Ice Fields as the first to do so without outside support. The two explorers started with kayak from Tortel, skied over the inland ice fields and 54 days later they finally paddled into Puerto Natales in their kayaks. The combination of Thomas as a mountain climber and Børge as a polar veteran was very successful on this very difficult expedition that, for example, included a 600-meter rappel. The expedition was described in in National Geographic Magazine in August 2004.
