On January 17, 2012, Grant and his guides reached the bottom of our world on the 100th anniversary, to the day, of when Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Terra Nova expedition arrived at the earth's most remote spot, the geographic South Pole.

Grant Korgan had it all, lost it in a tragic accident, and rose up to become the first spinal cord-injured athlete to ski to the South Pole. Facing brutal elements, demanding topography, -40-degree conditions, failing gear, hypothermia, frostbite, mental challenges and extreme exhaustion, the physical limitations were just the beginning of the challenges Grant and his team faced along The Push journey.
