O39。Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33yearold spent 54 days skiing the world39。s coldest continent while pulling a 300pound sled(雪橇) with supplies. Instead of leaving the harsh environment after pleting the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world39。s largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to plete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O39。Brady arrived, the British explorer finished his adventure, being the world39。s second person to plete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a race.

The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, I didn39。t want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I pleted it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry39。s name on it.
