Vegans conquer the South Pole

Three vegan adventurers, Jens Neumann, Alexandra Guryeva, and Stefan Prucker, completed an incredible unsupported trek across Antarctica in January 2023. The Austrian trio spent 50 days trekking 880 kilometers, each pulling their own 100-kilogram sled loaded with all their gear and vegan food. By completing this trek, they have opened a new route to the South Pole that had never been trodden before.

In preparation for this extreme challenge, the team underwent intense physical training, including gym workouts, cardiovascular training, mountaineering, and long-distance treks with heavy backpacks. They sourced vegan food for their trip, planning for 5000 Kcal per day each and opting for sugar-free and organic options where possible. The team's dedication to a vegan lifestyle and their commitment to overcoming challenges in their pursuit of adventure and self-discovery is truly inspiring.
