Para Athlete Jonny Huntington Passes Halfway Point in Historic South Pole Trek

The former GB para-athlete, who suffered a stroke in 2014, aims to become the first disabled person to ski solo to the South Pole.

Jonny Huntington, a 38-year-old para-athlete from Devon, is attempting to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole, covering 911km (566 miles) so far.
Huntington, who has limited mobility on his left side due to a stroke in 2014, is skiing up to 11 hours daily and pulling a 110kg sled with his supplies.
He hopes to complete the journey by January 7, 2025, enduring extreme Antarctic conditions, including soft snow and 24-hour sunlight.
The expedition has presented mental challenges, with Huntington using music and memories to combat loneliness and maintain focus in the barren landscape.
A former army officer and GB Para Nordic skier, Huntington is raising awareness and funds through his journey, which marks a new chapter after his competitive skiing career.
