Altitude
Starting at the coast Ben and Tarka will climb almost 8000ft up one of the world's largest glaciers, the Beardmore Glacier on to the Antarctica plateau. Once on the plateau they'll have a straight line to the South Pole before turning around and walking back the way they came to the coast again.

Distance
Ben and Tarka will cover 1800 miles starting from Scott's Terra Nova Hut at the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back to the coast again. That's equivalent to 69 back-to-back marathons hauling up to 200kg each (the weight of roughly two adult men) of kit and supplies necessary to survive.
Distances here are shown in statute miles.
