In our first episode, we meet Drs Gareth Andrews and Richard Stephenson from The Last Great First, who in October will attempt to become the first polar explorers to complete a fully unsupported ski crossing of Antarctica. Their expedition will push boundaries of what’s humanly possible and is an opportunity to collect critical data for climate scientists and inspire younger generations. They talk about their journey to get to this point, how they will prepare, and what a day in the life of a polar explorer looks like.
