Going Solo in the Antarctic

Polar exploration site thepoles.com is reporting that Rune Gjeldnes, a Norwegian explorer has completed a solo crossing of Antarctica, making him the first man to complete both polar crossing unsupplied. What does that mean exactly? Well, that means Rune managed to navigate across both the poles with only the gear that he took with him. Quite an impressive feat.
