Interview with Todd Carmichael
SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA– In November 2008, adventurer Todd Carmichael set out to become the first American to ski from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole solo and unassisted. The South Pole was 600 nautical miles away. Just several miles into the journey, his ski bindings broke. He continued on foot. Shelby Handlin and I interviewed him in South Pole medical on December 23, 2008.

Riveting, fantastic, funny, insightful. Thanks Mark & Shelby for capturing, and of course to Todd for his openness.
WOW! what can anyone say. You’re incredible. Glad you made it, yes it must be surreal, my 8 year old grandson Chris , is excited and surprised that you undertook such an adventure. Our best wishes to you, Chris says hi and that you are sure brave. To all Antartic personnel have a Happy Summer, while we’ll have a nice Autumn and Winter. Best of luck, my other grandson Brenden, he’s 7 years old, also says hi and good luck.
