Shackleton Returns: Hyundai Santa Fe conquers the Antarctic

The Great Grandson of legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton, #patrickbergel has made history by becoming the first to drive a passenger car across the Antarctic.

The 30-day route - driven in a #hyundai #santafe - traversed the continent from Union Camp to McMurdo and back again, completing the journey that Shackleton began over 100 years ago.

The 30-day expedition, facilitated by #hyundai Motor, saw Patrick and small team take on almost 5,800km of icy terrain in bitter conditions. They not only had to cover extreme distances at temperatures down to minus 28-degrees Celsius but also had to plot new paths on floating ice caps that have never been travelled by wheeled vehicle before.
