      In the North pole we had chartered plane and helicopter for our expedition. The plane takes you from Svalbard to a Russian station called Barneo. From there we used a helicopter.

      Here in Antarctica I got the Eurostar to Paris. Then I caught a plane to Cristchurch in New Zeland. From there I took a hercules plane to the coast of Antarctica. From the coast I got a small plane called a Twin Otter across Antarctica to reach our base!

      For my journey home I am going to get a boat back from the coast to New Zeland which normally takes 7-20 days!!
