Scott 2012 Expedition:
No one has ever walked from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back again.
In 2012 … Ben (Saunders) and his team mates Alastair Humphreys and Martin Hartley take on arguably the most ambitious polar expedition in the last century: the four-month Scott 2012 – the first return journey to the South Pole on foot, and at 1,800 miles, the longest unsupported polar journey in history …

Good luck team.
