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.

It's been a long day on the ice for Ben and Tarka - nine hours skiing. They've once again made cracking progress covering 18 miles (29km). After finishing late this evening they won't be blogging today but expect to be back online tomorrow.
In the meantime, learn a little more about Captain Scott and his Terra Nova expedition or take a moment to enjoy some of our videos.
