Tracking
the Journey

  • Distance to go: 0 Mi
    Distance

    Ben and Tarka will cover 1800 miles starting from Scott's Terra Nova Hut at the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back to the coast again. That's equivalent to 69 back-to-back marathons hauling up to 200kg each (the weight of roughly two adult men) of kit and supplies necessary to survive.

    Distances here are shown in statute miles.

I assume you met up with the first cache of supplies which proffered your well deserved/needed rest. Hoping what lies ahead comes with knowing we are all cheering you on, wishing you success and as much as possible, an easy go of it.

Here’s to ya Ben and Tarka!!
