Challenge against the Clock - Svalbard

In February, Alex Hibbert attempted his second Arctic expedition to Svalbard. He ventured yet further north into the High Arctic and took his quest for speed up another level. He previously identified a route on the main island of the remote polar island group of Svalbard, home to polar bears, caribou and a few hardy locals. This journey was supposed to be a test of his fitness, efficiency and instinct honed over years of polar travel as he attempted to set the 24hr polar ski distance world record - that is, the longest distance achieved by a skier in a polar region and with a virgin, natural snow surface.
