British para-skier is first disabled person to ski to the South Pole solo and unsupported

Jonny Huntington is the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to south pole.

British stroke survivor Jonny Huntington has become the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. The para-athlete from Devon completed the 566-mile Antarctic journey in 45 days, 14 hours, 15 minutes.

Only 52 people have successfully skied to the South Pole without support and Jonny, 38, defied the odds to do so with only limited use of the left side of his body.
