Henry Worsley

And I think I was definitely in that category and now find myself with a very solid marriage and four kids and in a lovely position.

That said... back in 2016 which was the year we got married I was trying to walk across Antarctica and the year before Henry Worsley had died trying to achieve the same thing um of multiple organ failure on about day 70 or 80 and um I looked at that expedition I thought I can do that um and I'd never skied before and I'd never been to the Antarctic before but um Discovery Channel went yeah brilliant we'll commission it and I was like oh shit okay right and then uh and uh I'd got Land Rover involved and I had so many innovations.

I was going to do this so much better than Henry Worsley.

I mean, I don't mean to disrespect his name.

However, my maybe slightly younger arrogance was, you know, I can do this.

I also looked at the Ellen MacArthur, who was the round-the-world yachtswoman who's dating Ellen MacArthur now.

She used polyphasic sleeping.

And I thought part of the reason that Henry Worsley had become a cropper was because he – he was doing these long, long days on just two, because he could only boil so much water in the morning.

Because almost 20 years later, another man tried something similar.

His name was Henry Worsley.

Worsley was a former British Army officer obsessed with the history of Antarctic exploration.

In 2015, he attempted to cross Antarctica completely alone and without outside resupply.
