【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 , 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. After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.（1）What do Colin O39。Brady and Louis Rudd have in mon?
