Nearly a century after Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole in 1911, the Norwegian female Cecilie Skog, 35, and the American man Ryan Waters, 36, reached Ross Ice Shelf and made the first unassisted crossing of Antarctica. They skied 70 days from Berkner Island to the Axel Heiberg Glacier via the Geographic South Pole.
Each year ExplorersWeb chose expeditions for awards who have contributed in an extraordinary way to the Spirit of Adventure in 2009. Cecilie and Ryans`s expeditions might be a good candidate for ExplorersWeb`s awards in 2010.
