Colin O'Brady calling his wife after reaching his goal of crossing Antarctica on the Ross Ice Shelf. On Wednesday, O’Brady became the first person to cross the continent solo, unsupported and unaided by wind power. On his trip, O’Brady was burned in a fire, suffering severe burns on the lower half of his body. O’Brady prepared for his Antarctica crossing by putting in long hours at the gym. “I was like, all right, I have three more days left, how many hours is that of moving?” O’Brady told the Times.
