In episode 12, I talk to Sam Cox, a Royal Marines Major who will embark on a unique solo and unsupported crossing across Antarctica to set a world record in November 2023.
Starting at the coast of Berkner Island and finishing at the base of the Reedy glacier, via the South Pole, this expedition will see him ski a total distance of 1,950km, in one of the last wildernesses - a pure test of physical and mental endurance.
Joining the Royal Marines in 2010, he has tested himself throughout the globe’s harshest environments, from the humidity of the jungles in Brunei, the heat of Central Asia, to the depths of the iciest temperatures in Norway.
Sam will be using this expedition to fundraise for Movember and Rock to Recovery charities, build a unique platform to highlight the power of human resilience and mental strength to engage with a global audience, and promote positive mental well-being.
