I'm really impressed. There seems to be a competition of skiers on who can ski here from the coastline the fastest - the coastline (called Hercules inlet) is 730 miles away. The name of this competition is the Polar Quest challenge. There are 4 British Royal Navy/ Roayl Marines guys that arrived 2 days ago. It took them 46 days to ski here. So far, they are camping out then will head back to the coast. These are the first Navy expedition people to ski to the South Pole since Captain Scott, back in 1912!

Eleven more people from Indian Navy arrived this yesterday. Their trip is 120 miles. And a woman is showing up today - a loner... she's trying to set the record of skiing from the coast to Pole in 40 days. The previous record held in 2001 at 42 days.
