How to Retrace the 1912 Race to the South Pole Four men trek to the South Pole in Captain Robert Falcon Scott's footsteps (and underwear)—unlike Scott's crew, they manage to survive.
The team pulled their 500-pound [227-kilogram] sled eight hours a day for 14 days on our journey to the South Pole. During the training session, the temperature dropped to a surprisingly low minus 5 degrees Celsius [23 degrees Fahrenheit], which made pulling harder across the frozen sand. —James Daly
