In this episode, I speak with Sam Cox. Sam was raised in South Devon and throughout his school years developed a taste for the outdoors living close to both the beach and Dartmoor. This sense of adventure continued after he left school and joined 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. He will be using these experiences to help tackle the challenges of crossing 1,950km of Antarctic tundra and glaciers. In November 2023, Sam will embark on a unique solo and unsupported journey across Antarctica. Starting at the coast of Berkner Island and finishing at the base of the Reedy glacier, via the South Pole, this expedition is a total distance that is likely to exceed 2000 km.  As one of the last wildernesses, this will be a pure test of physical and mental endurance.
