	Description:		Dropped by ski plane on Antarctica’s coastline, this team has skied more than 1,100 miles to remarkably reach the South Pole in a mere 39 days!!! Spend time with the intrepid British Army team leader Lou Rudd as the team has literally just arrived at the South Pole on Christmas Day. Hear firsthand about the extraordinary, dangerous journey so far. Find out how they celebrate each degree crossed on the way (hint they ski hard and celebrate hard), the secret to reaching the South Pole in such rapid time and what it takes to ski 10 hours while dragging more than 300 pounds each day. Discover details like what it is like at night in such a hostile, isolated place and the playlists these adventurers listen to during the extreme endurance days. Rudd reveals the dangers they overcame on their journey so far and shares some stories of the perils they must defeat in the next phase to successfully cross the entire continent. Hear about their brave plan to now explore an unexplored, extremely hazardous corner of the Earth. Will they tackle the Titan dome and make it down the Shackleton Glacier in time to reach the last ski plane out from the Ross Ice Shelf before time runs out? Release Date - 12/30/16
