Three Canadians have set a new record of just under 34 days for trekking to the South Pole. The trip is measured from the Hercules Inlet to the Pole, which is a distance of 700 miles (1,130 kilometers). This was no easy task, for they had to endure altitude sickness, blisters, whiteout conditions, and temperatures 40 degrees below zero.
The men say they fueled their grueling journey on a diet of 7,000 calories a day.
What a bunch of idiots. I routinely put away 7,000 calories a day, and I don't even have to leave the comfort of my recliner.
