There are two of them, both beginners in this area, attempting the classic trek between Hercules Inlet and the South Pole (approximately 1100 km). One of them is a banker in London, is 30 years old and is called Adam Wilton. The other works in real estate in Scotland, is 33 and is called Gavin Booth. Assuming all goes well, they intend on covering the distance without being re-supplied.
