Antarctica (南极洲), the southernmost part of Earth, is covered snow and ice all year round. it has amazing views, many are still frightened by this icy desert.
But 34-year-old US explorer Colin O' Brady is different. Three (month) ago, he became the first person (cross) Antarctica alone. During the 932-mile journey, O' Brady spent 54 days in extreme conditions. He had to push (he) to the limit. He carried everything he'd need on a sled. But even with enough food, O' Brady began to become (thin) and weaker after six weeks. "I (lose) a ton of weight so far. My legs feel more like the size of my arms at this point," he wrote on US social media Instagram.
Adding to the pressure, O' Brady was racing against Louis from the UK. The two men set off together, with Rudd (take) an early lead. But on Christmas Day, O'Brady decided to make final effort without stopping for a rest. Luckily for him he made it, getting to the finish line earlier than Louis.
O' Brady thinks that he has the spirit of exploration in his blood: He is an athlete, loves to move. He also believes we can all have this strength and achieve much.
