The South Pole was a highly sought prize for many years. Although now easily reached by plane, Antarctica is still a great stomping ground for the adventurer.
From entering the annual race to a week spent skiing the last degree or months of sled hauling in an old-fashioned slog from the coast, there are many different ways to reach the iconic red-and-white striped pole that marks the bottom of the world.
