Walking Antarctica
WALKING ANTARCTICA DEEP DIVE
A trip to Antarctica transformed Daniela Hernandez's life: The two-week journey triggered a long-lasting ‘quantum change’ affecting family, work, and more. The author set out to understand why that happened.
"In Antarctica, without the distractions of daily life, there was nowhere to hide from my own thoughts."
"@danielas_bot: This is why I love the Ice so much: It made me confront things I'd been running away from for a long time. I hope this is helpful to others going through hard times. Remember, you're not alone."
'One mistake and it's game over': One man's solo trek across Antarctica unaided: Colin O’Brady took on the elements, a relentless rival, and weeks of isolation as he walked solo and unassisted across the southernmost continent.
‘I’m absolutely elated. It’s a miracle we made it,’ says polar hero Louis Rudd: Recovering after his crossing, the explorer describes how he survived his grueling 56-day Antarctic trek.
The approach: In this together: The North Face athletes Hilaree Nelson, Conrad Anker, Jim Morrison, and Jimmy Chin spent the month of January 2020 together on an expedition in Antarctica. Success is often remembered as achieving the summit. But as the team reached the top of Mt. Vinson and prepared to descend, unexpected conditions and risky circumstances revealed success to be something a bit different: survival.
"Success is often measured by what we ski and what we summit, however in this case we found success in making the right decisions to try another time."
