Two Quebeckers, Bernard
Voyer and Thierry
Petry, skied to the South Pole all
by themselves, with no outside assistance.
It was a real exploit:
1,500km of wind and cold, across the Antarctic,
our planet's greatest desert of ice.
Departure:
November 9, 1995
Arrival
at the South Geographic Pole: January 12, 1996
Fewer people have reached the South Pole
with no outside assitance than astronauts
have walked on the moon !
