90º S
It’s official. The Guinness World Record officials have confirmed it. A new world record has been set for the fastest overland crossing of Antarctica to the South Pole. In 1958 it took Sir Edmund Hillary 82 days, in 1992 it took a Japanese expedition 24 days, but the new record is for 69 hours.
“We achieved the 1200km mission in 69 hours. Our 4.5 ton monster truck has a 7.3 liter engine, 16 gears and 6 wheels and is converted to run on aviation fuel and with added state of the art satellite tracking, navigation and communications equipment. We had to traverse deep soft snow, rugged ice fields and crevasse fields, as well avoid mountain ranges and escarpments on the coldest and windiest place on the face of the earth for the record winning drive. Our Garmin 172C performed fantastically both during the drive through South America and across Antarctica.”
