Entering Antarctica
After finding a spot 30 minutes
out of town, we began to set
ourselves up for the cold night
ahead. For the arctic regions
of our expedition, our plan was
to sleep inside the Jeep, and
then use a tent for the warmer
climates. Topher began to set up
our beds inside Gunther, while I
prepared dinner.
What we didn’t realize was that in
-30C our food sitting on the back
seat of the car had frozen solid.
Not only this, but our drinking and
cooking water was now a solid
block of ice, and the propane gas
from our gas cooker had turned
to liquid.
1am, we were lying in bed, our
live tracker proudly pinging
our location to everyone back
home as just 27kms beyond
Deadhorse. Cold, hungry and
nervous for our 7-continent
journey ahead, we began asking
questions. Have we made the
biggest mistake of our lives? Will
we ever get our savings back if
we sold everything tomorrow?
How are we going to survive this?
…. One Year Later ….
Topher is outside setting up
camp while the 40C heat of
Namibia is working its way inside
Gunther. In 2018, we covered
the Americas in 8 months, with
only one tire puncture, no more
flat batteries, never running out
of fuel, not having lost anything
and not a single bump or scratch
on Gunther. Leg 2 had begun
only a few weeks earlier, leading
up Eastern Africa, through the
Middle East to the most northern
drivable point of Europe.
Expedition Earth has been
the most brilliant and exciting
decision of our lives.
