Looks like the Antartica section is about to start! Today they loaded the Expedition Trucks on to shipping container platforms in South Africa. Can't wait to see them hitting the South Pole!

Meh, the pinnacle of their expedition was at the North Pole. Didn’t think they could pull it off, regardless of the money thrown at it. Huge respect for that achievement. The rest was mostly logistics…and more
