Sir Ranulph Fiennes prepares for his latest adventure.
What would you pack for a six-month trek on the coldest continent in the world? Bear in mind that there'll be no shops around and no help from home.
That's the challenge the British explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes faces as he prepares to lead a six-strong team on foot across Antarctica.
The expedition to start in March will cross areas where the temperature has fallen as low as -90C.
It'll be the 68-year-old adventurer's latest record attempt. Past feats have seen him go pole to pole and climb Everest as a pensioner. Guinness World Records describes him as the world's greatest living explorer.
According to the BBC's Matthew Price, the expedition's 200 tonnes of equipment will be dragged across 2,000 miles of some of the world's most inhospitable terrain by two special bulldozers. They'll be followed by 14 smaller sledges transporting fuel.
