This November and December, I will embark on a grueling 45-day, 700-mile solo journey to the South Pole. I invite you to follow South Signal: A world-record-setting expedition, where every mile and moment will be shared in real time from the heart of the polar wilderness.

With great anticipation, I am thrilled to announce my upcoming solo, unsupported, unassisted expedition to the South Pole, titled South Signal. This venture marks not only a profound personal challenge but also an opportunity for the public to witness the extent of human endurance.

Over the course of 45 days, I will ski more than 700 miles across the vast and inhospitable expanse of Antarctica, journeying from the iconic Hercules Inlet to the most southern point on Earth—the South Pole. Towing all of my supplies in a 200+ pound “pulk” sled, I will face the elements alone, relying solely on preparation, fortitude, and the unyielding will to push forward.

What sets South Signal apart from other polar expeditions is my commitment to bringing you along for every moment of this extreme adventure.

Each day, I will be live-streaming my experience directly from the ice, sharing the raw reality of life on the polar plateau—the biting winds, the silent majesty, the triumphs, and the trials. Each evening, I will write a meditation from the ice, capturing and exposing the inner struggles and insights gleaned from days and weeks of isolated struggle. Through these daily broadcasts and writings, I invite you to join me, witnessing the beauty and brutality that define Antarctica.

This expedition is not just a test of one man’s physical limits; it is a signal sent from the world’s furthest reaches—a reminder that the spirit of exploration endures. Proof that even in isolation, we are connected by curiosity and courage.
