Since last night, the adventurer speaker Frédéric Dion is the first person in the World to have reach the Center of Antarctica (South Pole of Inaccessibility) alone, and in record time. Indeed, only two expeditions reached this point before him, but as a group and less rapidly. He was using 2 Conceptair kites and 1 Ozone Chrono kite.
The Canadian Athlete left from Novolazarevskaya, the Russian base in Antarctica, on November 10 in kite skiing and faced temperatures below -50 ° Celsius, suffered from frostbites, an often broken sled that finally dismembered, a blizzard with winds of 150 km/h and a fire that almost burned his tent.
He pushes the audacity and tries another World Premiere by continuing his journey to the South Pole, adding 900km 2100 already traveled. « I still have energy and food for 30 days, I hope to make it to the most! » He says.
