I followed some of Mike Horn's trip last year. Unfortunately I don't know enough about the differences between these attempts and Horn's trip. Wasn't Horn's trip last year the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica?

> Wasn't Horn's trip last year the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica? It may depend on the specific definitions ("unsupported" vs "solo unsupported"), but the first unsupported crossing I'm aware of was that by Ranulph Fiennes and Mike Stroud in the Antarctic summer of 1992/1993. It was documented in two books, "Mind Over Matter"[0] by Finnes and "Shadows on the the Wasteland"[1] by Stroud. Both were very entertaining and interesting reads.
