Across Antarctica

November 3, 2018 is a date that Colin O'Brady will never forget. It was the first day of his difficult and dangerous trip across Antarctica.

Colin had a tent, a sleeping bag and a lot of food on the sled. It was 70 kilograms when he started the trip! He pulled the heavy sled across the snow and ice for 12 hours every day. It wasn't easy!The wind was another problem. It was hard to pull the sled in the wind and Colin fell down many times. It was also difficult for Colin to build his tent in the strong winds. He tied the tent to the sled because he didn't want it to fly away. It was the only place to hide from the wind and the cold.Colin was often afraid on his trip. He was alone and he skied across some very dangerous places. There was nobody to help him. Sometimes he wanted to leave Antarctica. But it was important for him to finish.
