After 50 days and 612 N miles of Antarctic ice I arrived at the Goegraphic South Pole – only half way through the North South Solo Expedition.

Brilliant, well done Mark, such an achievement! What’s the silver ball in the photo, it’s different to the gold one on your video? xx
The sliver ball and flags are for teams to take photographs etc – it’s situated about 20 foot from the location of the pole. It’s there to protect the actual location of the pole.
The gold one is the location of the pole itself and it moves every year wihtin a small area.
Nice to hear from you Dawn and thanks for following the expedition – it’s been awhile since we were at school together.
Catch up later this year.
mark wood you are a super human!i couldn’t do that for one million pounds well done and good luck
Hi Mark,
Fantastic acheivement and I know everyone is very proud of you, particularly your father (but knowing his sense of humor he would probably be more worried about your blue balls and not gold and silver! ha! Let’s take a sanity check here – 99% percent of the earth’s population wouldn’t even make it to either of the poles – let alone both of them. Goog luck for the second half – my thoughts and best wishes are with you!
