1
00:00:18,856 --> 00:00:21,773
(slow tense music)

2
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:44,697
(soft footsteps)

3
00:00:44,697 --> 00:00:47,530
(crushing sounds)

4
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:52,299
(people talking)

5
00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:57,799
(slow tense music continues)

6
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,480
- Everybody questions
when you do something

7
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,830
that nobody else are doing.

8
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,040
Nobody questions when you're doing

9
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,540
what everybody else are doing.

10
00:01:24,450 --> 00:01:27,543
I believe the ordinary can
achieve the extraordinary.

11
00:01:29,349 --> 00:01:30,240
(voice echoes) To prove this,

12
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,840
I'm doing something that
has never been done before.

13
00:01:38,818 --> 00:01:41,322
(speaking in foreign language)

14
00:01:41,322 --> 00:01:43,405
(whoops)

15
00:01:46,213 --> 00:01:47,165
- [Grethe] One.

16
00:01:47,165 --> 00:01:48,320
- [Young Anders] One.

17
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,365
- [Grethe] Two.

18
00:01:49,365 --> 00:01:50,388
- [Young Anders] Two.

19
00:01:50,388 --> 00:01:51,601
- [Grethe] Three.

20
00:01:51,601 --> 00:01:53,148
- [Young Anders] Three.

21
00:01:53,148 --> 00:01:54,465
- [Grethe] Big brother.

22
00:01:54,465 --> 00:01:55,715
- Big broth-ee.

23
00:01:59,125 --> 00:02:02,979
(muted bang)
(wind blowing)

24
00:02:02,979 --> 00:02:05,398
(voice on radio speaking)

25
00:02:05,398 --> 00:02:08,398
(wind blowing hard)

26
00:02:11,229 --> 00:02:13,958
(somber ambient music)

27
00:02:13,958 --> 00:02:18,369
(voice on radio speaking faintly)

28
00:02:18,369 --> 00:02:20,186
- [Voice On Radio] Wind
(signal crackles)

29
00:02:20,186 --> 00:02:21,769
kilometers an hour.

30
00:02:26,695 --> 00:02:30,112
(cart clanging on jetty)

31
00:02:38,110 --> 00:02:40,692
(luggage thuds)
(Anders grunts)

32
00:02:40,692 --> 00:02:43,025
(all laugh)

33
00:02:44,447 --> 00:02:46,227
- [Camera Person] Oh, how'd we do that?

34
00:02:46,227 --> 00:02:49,293
- Oh, that was close. (laughs)

35
00:02:49,293 --> 00:02:51,240
- Good save. Oh my.

36
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,523
- [Camera Person] Holy shit.

37
00:02:56,288 --> 00:02:59,788
(group chattering softly)

38
00:03:02,307 --> 00:03:05,935
- So you have warm tea by your bed.
- Yeah, true.

39
00:03:09,119 --> 00:03:13,110
(group continues chattering)

40
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:14,190
- [Anders] Thinking ahead.

41
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:15,870
- [Camera Person] Always
thinking, always thinking,

42
00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:16,703
aren't you?

43
00:03:20,910 --> 00:03:24,550
- I'm packing up in my
tiny bedroom. This is mine.

44
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:25,383
And this is Anthon's.

45
00:03:25,383 --> 00:03:29,010
- [Camera Person] Yeah,
that's Herman and Nicklas.

46
00:03:29,010 --> 00:03:31,140
- [Camera Person] What do
you feel about it, Anthon?

47
00:03:32,430 --> 00:03:33,510
- Let's see. (chuckles)

48
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:35,370
- When we get to the Drake Passage,

49
00:03:35,370 --> 00:03:37,020
it's just a big unknown awaiting.

50
00:03:39,810 --> 00:03:42,240
- It's very heavy. That's 60 days of food,

51
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,270
so I've just been measuring
out 60 portions of porridge,

52
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:46,503
60 portions of milk.

53
00:03:49,067 --> 00:03:53,567
(people speaking in foreign language)

54
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,481
- Come back. Would you guys go forward?

55
00:03:56,481 --> 00:03:57,314
- Let's go.

56
00:03:57,314 --> 00:03:58,782
- Righto, sand drain.

57
00:03:58,782 --> 00:04:03,392
- Good, safe travels. I
hope your engine is good.

58
00:04:03,392 --> 00:04:05,559
- [Anders] And we are off.

59
00:04:06,571 --> 00:04:08,413
Day one, (laughs)

60
00:04:08,413 --> 00:04:09,246
of 33.

61
00:04:09,246 --> 00:04:10,304
(boat horn blows)

62
00:04:10,304 --> 00:04:11,554
You ready, Jan?

63
00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:15,766
It's the last time we're gonna
see land for a long time.

64
00:04:15,766 --> 00:04:17,804
(both chuckle)

65
00:04:17,804 --> 00:04:18,906
(boat horn blows)

66
00:04:18,906 --> 00:04:20,698
- [Cath] We'll see you down there.

67
00:04:20,698 --> 00:04:24,781
(voicemail playing on the phone)

68
00:04:25,657 --> 00:04:30,310
- I'll return to you as
soon as possible. (chuckles)

69
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:33,564
(voicemail in foreign language)
Hey, Dad. It's Anders.
I just wanted to say

70
00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:37,694
that we've sailed off from Ushuaia
and I'm steering the Icebird.

71
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:42,907
So thank you for all your support
and help the past weeks.

72
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:47,620
I really appreciate it.
We've assembled a fantastic team.

73
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:53,042
Now it's all about arriving safely
and completing the Iceman.

74
00:04:53,167 --> 00:04:57,714
Love you, love you all.
Mom, Amalie, and you.

75
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:00,091
Anthon says hi.

76
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:04,095
- It's voicemail.
- Okay. Hi, Dad.

77
00:05:05,430 --> 00:05:07,974
See you on the other side.

78
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:11,644
I'm not sure how long
we'll have a connection. Bye!

79
00:05:12,311 --> 00:05:15,300
(voicemail beeps)

80
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,850
- [Interviewer] What's your
first memory of Anders?

81
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,720
- I actually don't know
what the first memory,

82
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,553
I just have this

83
00:05:27,810 --> 00:05:30,060
image of him with a cap.

84
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:33,445
So when he was young,
he wore a lot of caps.

85
00:05:33,445 --> 00:05:35,139
(gentle music)

86
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:40,089
As a child, he was the happiest
boy you can imagine.

87
00:05:40,298 --> 00:05:45,762
From infancy until he was seven
or six years old, he always whistled.

88
00:05:47,466 --> 00:05:50,633
(young Anders laughs)

89
00:05:52,138 --> 00:05:55,138
- Anders as a child was very bubbly,

90
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,593
very playful.

91
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:05,948
Before he started school,
he always wore a cap.

92
00:06:10,716 --> 00:06:13,883
(children chattering)

93
00:06:15,166 --> 00:06:19,545
He used to run around
and was always happy.

94
00:06:19,754 --> 00:06:22,757
But he was robbed of that
when he started school

95
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:28,429
because his kindergarten teacher
took his cap off.

96
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:32,058
That was like
taking away his identity.

97
00:06:32,183 --> 00:06:33,976
But people did that back then,

98
00:06:34,102 --> 00:06:36,729
and then his identity
sort of disappeared.

99
00:06:38,621 --> 00:06:41,328
(children chattering)

100
00:06:41,328 --> 00:06:43,828
(low ringing)

101
00:06:47,674 --> 00:06:50,040
(somber music)

102
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,880
- I think in his early days

103
00:06:53,220 --> 00:06:54,510
he just,

104
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:55,863
I think he had some anger.

105
00:06:56,910 --> 00:07:00,120
- Something happened around
when we became teenagers,

106
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,540
I felt like Anders was kinda
distancing himself from me

107
00:07:03,540 --> 00:07:04,770
and I didn't really know why.

108
00:07:04,770 --> 00:07:06,120
I remember I was just like,

109
00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:10,863
I felt very excluded from his life.

110
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,460
He didn't really want to communicate,

111
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:16,203
he didn't really say anything.

112
00:07:17,250 --> 00:07:18,210
I didn't know if he were like

113
00:07:18,210 --> 00:07:19,950
ever gonna get that close again.

114
00:07:19,950 --> 00:07:23,913
And if this was just how it's gonna be.

115
00:07:26,362 --> 00:07:30,158
Something was holding him back,
because...

116
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:35,580
Well, I'm not sure what it was.

117
00:07:37,039 --> 00:07:42,753
As a parent, you also say what's right
or wrong, which isn't always correct.

118
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,090
But you did it
with the best intentions

119
00:07:46,674 --> 00:07:51,971
based on your situation at the time
and experiences as a parent.

120
00:07:54,807 --> 00:07:57,894
But as to what held him back...

121
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:00,897
I don't know.

122
00:08:02,103 --> 00:08:04,562
(somber music)

123
00:08:04,562 --> 00:08:06,607
(speaking in foreign language off camera)

124
00:08:06,607 --> 00:08:09,940
(spectators applauding)

125
00:08:16,144 --> 00:08:18,644
(train chugs)

126
00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:27,070
- My brother was working
as a management consultant

127
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:29,733
and from the outside,

128
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:33,360
at least I believe, well that's,

129
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,670
it seems that that's what he wanna do.

130
00:08:35,670 --> 00:08:37,420
But I can see now that

131
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:43,656
he was conforming and not flourishing.

132
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:45,600
(projector slides click)

133
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,210
- He had just followed
this path for so long

134
00:08:48,210 --> 00:08:50,370
in terms of what the
society wants him to do

135
00:08:50,370 --> 00:08:53,670
and maybe what his family
thought he should be doing.

136
00:08:53,670 --> 00:08:56,130
And in the family, we always knew

137
00:08:56,130 --> 00:08:57,510
that Anders was the kind of person

138
00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:59,133
that has to work for himself.

139
00:09:00,549 --> 00:09:02,720
- [Commentator] He has to
be the man that could...

140
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,478
Well, I think it's gonna
be very interesting.

141
00:09:04,478 --> 00:09:07,350
I think there's no doubt about this area

142
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:10,208
Timekeeping will be very, very important.

143
00:09:10,208 --> 00:09:11,041
(phone message tone chimes)

144
00:09:11,041 --> 00:09:12,810
Players already having to report

145
00:09:12,810 --> 00:09:15,027
at specific times to training.

146
00:09:15,027 --> 00:09:17,256
(dramatic somber music)

147
00:09:17,256 --> 00:09:21,839
(people cheering in foreign language)

148
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:27,573
(keyboard clacks)

149
00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:36,093
(keyboard clacks)

150
00:09:38,426 --> 00:09:41,708
(people cheering)

151
00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:44,541
(keyboard clacks)

152
00:09:48,261 --> 00:09:51,060
(dramatic music continues)

153
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:51,893
- Check this out.

154
00:09:51,893 --> 00:09:54,810
My next guest just
accomplished a tremendous feat.

155
00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:59,810
- 50 Iron Man triathlons
in 50 states in 50 days.

156
00:10:00,210 --> 00:10:01,800
Sounds impossible, right?

157
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,307
Not for the man they call the Iron Cowboy.

158
00:10:09,131 --> 00:10:11,964
(keyboard clacks)

159
00:10:17,864 --> 00:10:21,187
(mouse clicks)

160
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:24,770
(dramatic music continues)

161
00:10:31,536 --> 00:10:34,369
(keyboard clacks)

162
00:10:36,478 --> 00:10:39,061
(mouse clicks)

163
00:10:45,738 --> 00:10:48,826
(mouse clicks)

164
00:10:48,826 --> 00:10:51,576
(wind blows low)

165
00:10:53,749 --> 00:10:57,332
(dramatic music continues)

166
00:10:58,501 --> 00:11:01,334
(keyboard clacks)

167
00:11:09,541 --> 00:11:12,874
(dramatic music builds)

168
00:11:15,157 --> 00:11:16,740
(music fades)
(mouse clicks)

169
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:17,573
- [Interviewer] Why do you think

170
00:11:17,573 --> 00:11:19,908
nobody has ever done an
Ironman in Antarctica?

171
00:11:19,908 --> 00:11:20,822
(James chuckles)

172
00:11:20,822 --> 00:11:23,063
- Yeah.

173
00:11:23,063 --> 00:11:25,080
- [Camera Person] This is day zero.

174
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,980
We could almost call it...

175
00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:27,297
- Ground, yeah, day zero.

176
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:33,810
- [Camera Person] We got
support from Mr. Anthon,

177
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:34,680
- [Anders] From bro.

178
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:35,550
- [Camera Person] The brother.

179
00:11:35,550 --> 00:11:37,170
- In the middle of the winter,

180
00:11:37,170 --> 00:11:39,782
he wanted to go in ice
water and try to swim.

181
00:11:39,782 --> 00:11:41,850
I was like, "I'm going. I
want to see that." (chuckles)

182
00:11:41,850 --> 00:11:42,786
- [Camera Person] There we go.

183
00:11:42,786 --> 00:11:43,619
(water splashes)

184
00:11:43,619 --> 00:11:45,270
One in.

185
00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:47,460
- [Anthon] In my mind, I was
not saying you cannot do that.

186
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:49,807
There was a small part
of me saying, you know,

187
00:11:49,807 --> 00:11:51,720
"Yeah, you could pull this off."

188
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,700
At this time I had had some experience

189
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:55,757
with being in cold water in the military.

190
00:11:55,757 --> 00:11:58,090
(both gasp)

191
00:11:59,700 --> 00:12:01,440
- [Camera Person] 30 Seconds, 30 seconds.

192
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,423
Come on, come on.

193
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,050
(grunts)

194
00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:08,070
35.

195
00:12:08,070 --> 00:12:10,860
- [Anthon] But what I kind
of pushed him was then show.

196
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,510
- Oh.
(camera person chuckles)

197
00:12:12,510 --> 00:12:14,910
- Finally, can you, can
you be in ice water?

198
00:12:14,910 --> 00:12:17,880
Can you show improvements and can you show

199
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,030
that you're actually moving towards that?

200
00:12:21,030 --> 00:12:25,183
- Breathe. Breathe motherfucker. (laughs)

201
00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:34,070
- So it's day two of the
seven day ice swim challenge.

202
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,723
My entire body is trying to tell me not,

203
00:12:37,767 --> 00:12:39,213
not to do this right now.

204
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:43,643
(water splashing)

205
00:12:46,441 --> 00:12:47,274
(Anders gasps)

206
00:12:47,274 --> 00:12:48,611
- [Camera Person] More than a minute.

207
00:12:48,611 --> 00:12:50,792
(Anders yells)

208
00:12:50,792 --> 00:12:53,318
- One, two, three.

209
00:12:53,318 --> 00:12:56,151
(water splashing)

210
00:12:57,939 --> 00:12:59,830
(water splashing)

211
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:02,440
(Anders shivering)
- It feels really cold today.

212
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,416
(water splashing)

213
00:13:05,416 --> 00:13:07,352
Day seven of the iceman challenge,

214
00:13:07,352 --> 00:13:10,179
and yesterday was a tough one.

215
00:13:10,179 --> 00:13:12,382
And today I'm trying to push it further.

216
00:13:12,382 --> 00:13:15,758
(Anders claps and whoops)

217
00:13:15,758 --> 00:13:18,399
(water splashing)

218
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:20,482
- [Camera Person] Christ!

219
00:13:21,942 --> 00:13:25,275
(Anders breathing hard)

220
00:13:38,601 --> 00:13:39,838
(Anders shivering)

221
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:42,238
Take it easy.

222
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:43,781
Easy, easy.

223
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:45,991
Be careful not to fall.

224
00:13:50,419 --> 00:13:54,669
(Anders shivering, breathing hard)

225
00:13:57,714 --> 00:13:58,547
- Oh.

226
00:14:00,362 --> 00:14:01,822
Fucking cold.

227
00:14:01,822 --> 00:14:02,655
So,

228
00:14:03,704 --> 00:14:05,204
day seven is over.

229
00:14:07,530 --> 00:14:10,023
It's difficult to hold the camera steady.

230
00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:17,253
11 minutes and five seconds.

231
00:14:18,482 --> 00:14:20,317
- Well done, Anders!
- Thanks.

232
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:22,736
You're fucking badass, man!

233
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,300
- I don't think I knew where I was going

234
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:32,070
until this moment in the gym

235
00:14:32,070 --> 00:14:37,070
where a chairman of a company
that I'd been working in

236
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,100
told me that I couldn't swim
four kilometers in ice water.

237
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:43,750
For me, when I look back,
that was the trigger point

238
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,840
of realizing

239
00:14:49,354 --> 00:14:53,100
that people will tell you
what you can or cannot do

240
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:57,660
without having the foundation
of knowing what is possible.

241
00:14:57,660 --> 00:14:58,740
The people who didn't think

242
00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:01,200
I could become a football player,

243
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,300
they hadn't been football
players themselves,

244
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:05,550
they hadn't gone through that journey.

245
00:15:05,550 --> 00:15:07,830
The people who told me that I,

246
00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:11,070
it was too risky to start my
own business in my early 20s,

247
00:15:11,070 --> 00:15:13,203
they hadn't started businesses themselves.

248
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:18,727
And I think that was just
a realization saying,

249
00:15:18,727 --> 00:15:20,370
"You know what?

250
00:15:20,370 --> 00:15:22,410
People have no idea what
they're talking about."

251
00:15:22,410 --> 00:15:27,330
They have their perspective
on what you know,

252
00:15:27,330 --> 00:15:29,283
what is realistic, what is possible.

253
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,800
And without thinking about
it, they place that upon you.

254
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,310
And then you have to sort of accept it

255
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:40,950
as the truth or reality,
which is not the case.

256
00:15:40,950 --> 00:15:45,950
It's just their perspective
on life and what is possible.

257
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,490
The thing is, it was
a natural thing to say

258
00:15:50,490 --> 00:15:51,810
and obviously he didn't think about it.

259
00:15:51,810 --> 00:15:52,830
And that's the whole point of it,

260
00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:54,000
that often we don't think

261
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,340
about what we are actually
telling other people.

262
00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:57,810
But that has an impact.

263
00:15:57,810 --> 00:15:59,190
You know, it's like the math teacher

264
00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:01,380
telling a kid who's 12 years old

265
00:16:01,380 --> 00:16:02,700
that you're not good at math.

266
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:06,603
The kid's gonna live his
entire life believing that.

267
00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:09,810
Right? And that's the whole point.

268
00:16:09,810 --> 00:16:11,760
Being aware of what you tell other people,

269
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,590
especially kids, because
they're gonna accept that

270
00:16:16,590 --> 00:16:19,290
for the rest of their lives
even though it's not true.

271
00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:25,237
That's what pisses me off
and that's what made me say,

272
00:16:25,237 --> 00:16:26,193
"You know what?

273
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,270
I hate the freaking cold,
but I gotta do this."

274
00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:33,900
I believe the ordinary can
achieve the extraordinary.

275
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:34,920
To prove this,

276
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,800
I'm doing something that
has never been done before,

277
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680
completing what I call an Iceman.

278
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,610
I'm gonna swim 3.8
kilometers in ice water,

279
00:16:44,610 --> 00:16:46,710
bike 180 kilometers,

280
00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:49,410
and run a marathon on Antarctica.

281
00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:51,150
People tell me it's impossible,

282
00:16:51,150 --> 00:16:52,530
but I want to show you

283
00:16:52,530 --> 00:16:54,660
the limitations are
really only perceptions

284
00:16:54,660 --> 00:16:55,960
as to what we can achieve.

285
00:16:56,820 --> 00:16:59,160
My name is Anders and I promise you,

286
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,623
you won't regret following
this crazy journey.

287
00:17:06,732 --> 00:17:09,149
(waves gush)

288
00:17:14,065 --> 00:17:17,148
(gentle tense music)

289
00:17:26,503 --> 00:17:30,810
There were 10 spots on
the expedition team.

290
00:17:30,810 --> 00:17:31,923
One was for myself,

291
00:17:33,570 --> 00:17:36,750
two for polar guides
in charge of everything

292
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,403
on glacier and setting things up.

293
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:42,603
And then two for the
skippers sailing the boat,

294
00:17:44,340 --> 00:17:48,333
four videographers to
document the journey.

295
00:17:50,190 --> 00:17:51,990
Then there was one spot
left, and the question was

296
00:17:51,990 --> 00:17:54,393
whether I should bring
a doctor, or my brother.

297
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:01,800
- I was doubting him,
I was doubting myself,

298
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,963
I was doubting the team.

299
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,530
Didn't seem like a super
good idea for a team

300
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:09,210
with very little glacier experience

301
00:18:09,210 --> 00:18:11,760
to go on a continent that's pretty much

302
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,903
just one big glacier.

303
00:18:15,736 --> 00:18:17,670
(gentle tense music)

304
00:18:17,670 --> 00:18:21,840
- Anders sent me a document
from Phil, our exhibition guide,

305
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,070
that I needed to sign out.

306
00:18:23,070 --> 00:18:24,690
It was basically Phil wondering

307
00:18:24,690 --> 00:18:28,470
about our previous expedition experiences.

308
00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:31,327
And I remember reading
through the doc maybe like,

309
00:18:31,327 --> 00:18:34,440
"Oh, I don't have this.

310
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,720
I could maybe have some of this,"

311
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,343
but it was basically just blank.

312
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:46,980
- It was fucking terrifying
knowing that, you know,

313
00:18:46,980 --> 00:18:49,050
the closest hospital was
on another continent,

314
00:18:49,050 --> 00:18:52,170
and the closest rescue
wasn't a helicopter away,

315
00:18:52,170 --> 00:18:53,250
it was a military plane.

316
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:54,810
Traveling up this once.

317
00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:55,643
Yeah.

318
00:18:56,426 --> 00:18:59,179
And for the team
that will be safe enough?

319
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:03,100
That is a big concern.

320
00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:05,227
It's a very big concern.

321
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:08,230
I know there is a big hole there.

322
00:19:08,771 --> 00:19:10,398
There's a reason I know
there's a big hole there

323
00:19:10,399 --> 00:19:12,943
because I pulled someone out
of that big hole there.

324
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:16,314
It's okay, we can always
get another brother for you.

325
00:19:17,371 --> 00:19:18,656
(Phil laughs)

326
00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:20,242
Don't record that.

327
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:22,911
Don't tell him I said that, okay.

328
00:19:22,912 --> 00:19:25,439
(both chuckle)

329
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,920
The two biggest dangers
for inexperienced people,

330
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,653
number one falling in a crevasse.

331
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:37,650
If you fall in a crevasse without a rope,

332
00:19:37,650 --> 00:19:40,200
there's a very high chance
you are not coming back.

333
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,440
Then there's the weather.

334
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,440
If the weather closes in,
as it does so very quickly,

335
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:52,080
you can easily become
lost, become hypothermic.

336
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,554
So we're talking about
things that will kill you.

337
00:19:56,554 --> 00:19:59,304
(dramatic music)

338
00:20:01,111 --> 00:20:04,694
(waves crash against boat)

339
00:20:14,267 --> 00:20:17,184
(equipments clang)

340
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:21,884
(Anders retching)

341
00:20:30,673 --> 00:20:34,006
(waves crashing softly)

342
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:55,873
(upbeat music)

343
00:20:56,723 --> 00:20:58,290
- [Camera Person] We have the barrel here.

344
00:20:58,290 --> 00:21:00,893
- [Anders] And it is. (laughs)

345
00:21:03,217 --> 00:21:04,470
(ice sloshes in water)

346
00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:06,993
- [Camera Person] Three, two, one. Go.

347
00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:09,558
Get in there.

348
00:21:09,558 --> 00:21:10,391
Oh.

349
00:21:12,620 --> 00:21:14,647
- He told this idea,

350
00:21:14,647 --> 00:21:15,480
and I was like,

351
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,620
"Oh this sounds interesting."

352
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:19,890
But you know, it was
still just talking. Right?

353
00:21:19,890 --> 00:21:22,813
And then suddenly he starts
taking things serious.

354
00:21:22,813 --> 00:21:25,470
(slapping)

355
00:21:25,470 --> 00:21:30,413
- Hi guys, welcome to the
first vlog of Project Iceman.

356
00:21:34,094 --> 00:21:36,577
And then I realized,

357
00:21:36,577 --> 00:21:39,900
"Okay, you know this, this could be fun.

358
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:42,690
Have you thought about this?
Have you thought about that?

359
00:21:42,690 --> 00:21:44,839
How are you gonna brand
this? What's your goal?"

360
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:48,180
Like it was just my curiosity, you know,

361
00:21:48,180 --> 00:21:51,000
asking these questions
on a Saturday afternoon.

362
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,890
- It will take approximately five days

363
00:21:52,891 --> 00:21:54,937
to get just to Antarctica?

364
00:21:54,938 --> 00:21:56,606
Cath: Well from Ushuaia, yeah.

365
00:21:56,606 --> 00:21:58,483
Eric: I think if you want
to do this properly,

366
00:21:58,483 --> 00:22:01,320
you want to be running and
cycling on snow, correct?

367
00:22:01,446 --> 00:22:03,029
- Exactly. Exactly.

368
00:22:05,216 --> 00:22:06,540
Yeah, this is gonna be good.

369
00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:09,420
- And then I started actually helping him,

370
00:22:09,420 --> 00:22:11,553
like seeing this is fun.

371
00:22:12,510 --> 00:22:13,620
Now we need to pitch,

372
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,480
we need to fundraise, we need to brand,

373
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,632
we need to actually go
out with this message.

374
00:22:19,632 --> 00:22:22,965
(dramatic music builds)

375
00:22:23,820 --> 00:22:26,160
- I've done some stuff in this sport.

376
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,313
And when I first heard that
he was attempting this,

377
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:33,570
I gotta be honest bro, it was
like, that ain't happening.

378
00:22:33,570 --> 00:22:37,740
Like just, okay, dude's done
one full distance triathlon,

379
00:22:37,740 --> 00:22:40,890
zero credibility, he's got no resume.

380
00:22:40,890 --> 00:22:44,790
And so now you're gonna add in
the element of freezing cold

381
00:22:44,790 --> 00:22:48,333
and you're gonna add in
incredible amounts of fatigue.

382
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,815
That's a recipe for disaster.

383
00:22:51,815 --> 00:22:54,648
(engines humming)

384
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,600
- Obviously, there's a lot of struggles

385
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,070
of training in Denmark

386
00:22:59,070 --> 00:23:02,077
and trying to prepare for
doing an Iceman in Antarctica.

387
00:23:02,077 --> 00:23:04,380
(feet landing on treadmill)

388
00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:06,120
Like you don't really have any chance

389
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:08,370
of getting into super cold water,

390
00:23:08,370 --> 00:23:11,043
or biking in snow or on
ice, anything like that.

391
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:15,690
So Anders was constantly forced

392
00:23:15,690 --> 00:23:19,748
to go to extreme places to try and train.

393
00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:22,920
(water crashing on shore)

394
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,502
- Shit.

395
00:23:24,502 --> 00:23:28,002
(water crashing on shore)

396
00:23:32,379 --> 00:23:33,296
Oh my gosh.

397
00:23:35,142 --> 00:23:36,938
- [Anthon] It's beautiful.

398
00:23:36,938 --> 00:23:39,100
- [Anders] It's quite terrifying.

399
00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:40,997
- [Camera Person] Okay,
so you're ready now.

400
00:23:40,997 --> 00:23:41,830
- Yes I am.
- [Nicklas] You're

401
00:23:41,830 --> 00:23:42,663
in your wetsuit.

402
00:23:42,663 --> 00:23:44,820
This is perhaps the biggest
challenge of the Iceman,

403
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:48,116
swimming in the cold water.
How long are you gonna swim?

404
00:23:48,116 --> 00:23:49,110
- We'll see.

405
00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:49,943
- [Nicklas] We'll see.

406
00:23:49,943 --> 00:23:51,046
No goal?

407
00:23:51,046 --> 00:23:52,493
- No.
- [Nicklas] Okay.

408
00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,150
- I remember himself being
quite concerned before going in,

409
00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:02,220
'cause we were standing
on the rocks looking out

410
00:24:02,220 --> 00:24:05,460
and you see chunks of
ice, and a lot of current,

411
00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:08,103
and it was quite a new experience for him.

412
00:24:20,592 --> 00:24:23,850
He just barely touched the
water before going out.

413
00:24:23,850 --> 00:24:27,453
He was in there for
probably half a minute.

414
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:32,262
- It's fucking cold. I'm done.
- You're done? All right.

415
00:24:33,722 --> 00:24:37,267
It's easy for you to say, but you
don't realize how fucking cold it is!

416
00:24:37,410 --> 00:24:39,460
- It was just a wake up call.

417
00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:40,293
- If there was,

418
00:24:40,293 --> 00:24:42,120
if I had done it with a
boat or there was a beach,

419
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,770
like where we did the first test,

420
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:46,800
that would've been better.

421
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,690
I mean, if I go down 30 meters,
50 meters out, that's...

422
00:24:54,570 --> 00:24:55,590
- [Interviewer] Did you ever consider

423
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:56,940
doing it in Antarctica?

424
00:24:56,940 --> 00:24:58,680
- For years I toyed with the idea.

425
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,063
I put a team together,

426
00:25:01,110 --> 00:25:03,840
I just couldn't figure
out the water side of it.

427
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,350
Trying to figure out how to safely swim,

428
00:25:07,350 --> 00:25:10,770
not only with the wildlife
but with the temperatures.

429
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:13,680
You're at such a high risk of hypothermia,

430
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,776
like those are some big dice to roll.

431
00:25:16,776 --> 00:25:19,087
(waves crashing)

432
00:25:19,087 --> 00:25:22,670
(gentle suspenseful music)

433
00:25:28,629 --> 00:25:31,110
- It's just really annoying
that it's so cold for my face,

434
00:25:31,110 --> 00:25:36,110
getting under and can't
cut, I mean, (sniffs)

435
00:25:36,570 --> 00:25:37,563
right now I can't,

436
00:25:40,170 --> 00:25:42,761
can't manage to breathe.

437
00:25:42,761 --> 00:25:44,150
- [Speaker Off Screen] Okay.

438
00:25:44,150 --> 00:25:46,020
- To keep, you really,

439
00:25:46,020 --> 00:25:47,580
I really just want to
get my head under water

440
00:25:47,580 --> 00:25:48,980
and start swimming properly.

441
00:25:49,980 --> 00:25:52,380
But I can only do it
for like five seconds,

442
00:25:52,380 --> 00:25:54,126
10 seconds maybe.

443
00:25:54,126 --> 00:25:54,959
- [Speaker Off Screen]
Because of headache.

444
00:25:54,959 --> 00:25:56,590
- Ah, it's

445
00:25:58,770 --> 00:25:59,620
fucking annoying.

446
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,019
(gentle suspenseful music)

447
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:06,064
- You need something like that.
- Yeah.

448
00:26:10,470 --> 00:26:12,897
- [Anders] So the plan is go a bit out

449
00:26:12,897 --> 00:26:14,023
and then go down,

450
00:26:14,023 --> 00:26:16,650
and then swim back and forth a few times,

451
00:26:16,650 --> 00:26:19,650
and try to get through the 500 mark.

452
00:26:22,734 --> 00:26:26,317
(gentle suspenseful music)

453
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:31,689
(Anders whoops)

454
00:26:38,562 --> 00:26:42,145
(gentle suspenseful music)

455
00:26:45,149 --> 00:26:48,566
(water splashing gently)

456
00:26:50,191 --> 00:26:51,276
How long can you keep going?

457
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:51,901
What?

458
00:26:51,985 --> 00:26:53,403
Can you keep going?

459
00:26:56,031 --> 00:26:58,491
- I'm halfway there.
- Okay. You got this!

460
00:27:08,483 --> 00:27:11,233
(Anders whoops)

461
00:27:15,388 --> 00:27:17,123
- [Speaker Off Camera]
Great fucking success.

462
00:27:18,877 --> 00:27:19,710
- Ah.

463
00:27:22,369 --> 00:27:24,240
- He was obviously really, really happy

464
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,773
with his achievement.

465
00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:30,870
500 meters is still something
in those conditions,

466
00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:34,173
but he's still far away
from four kilometers.

467
00:27:37,170 --> 00:27:38,940
- Hi "Yes Theory", I'm Anders,

468
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:40,890
I'm 28 years old from Denmark,

469
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:42,870
where I'm right now in my
apartment in Copenhagen,

470
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:45,120
where since I woke up this morning,

471
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,970
I've been planning the "Yes
Theory Seek Discomfort"

472
00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:49,920
master marketing campaign.

473
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,843
Looking forward to see what you say.

474
00:27:53,910 --> 00:27:54,743
Cheers.

475
00:27:57,870 --> 00:28:00,220
Looking forward to hear
what you think. Cheers.

476
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:13,913
(calm tense music)

477
00:28:13,913 --> 00:28:16,240
Today, I felt a

478
00:28:17,850 --> 00:28:19,450
ultimate physical low

479
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,760
in terms of energy

480
00:28:31,980 --> 00:28:34,083
being on top of things, feeling well.

481
00:28:35,310 --> 00:28:37,653
For the past few weeks,

482
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,310
I haven't really had a sort
of new next physical goal

483
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:46,360
except for the trip coming up in a month.

484
00:28:47,370 --> 00:28:52,370
The focus has been on more the
business side of the project.

485
00:28:56,126 --> 00:28:58,340
(sighs)

486
00:28:58,340 --> 00:29:00,190
I dunno what the fuck I'm doing here.

487
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,613
- [Interviewer] Did your
brother have a childhood dream?

488
00:29:10,110 --> 00:29:13,120
- Yes. I believe that
dream was and still is

489
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,133
to be a professional football player.

490
00:29:18,548 --> 00:29:20,967
Anders just finished the game.

491
00:29:23,636 --> 00:29:24,971
Are you done, Anders?

492
00:29:25,950 --> 00:29:30,950
- My brother was later
developed than his peers,

493
00:29:32,790 --> 00:29:36,510
which you know, directly, you
know, when you're a young kid

494
00:29:36,510 --> 00:29:39,930
affects your physical performance.

495
00:29:39,930 --> 00:29:42,600
- Everything he talked
about back then was football

496
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,180
and he wanted to play for
Haforia, which is great league.

497
00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:47,430
And he really wanted that
and his friends were doing it

498
00:29:47,430 --> 00:29:49,980
and he was envying that
they were allowed to do it.

499
00:29:51,090 --> 00:29:54,577
But someone told him that he couldn't,

500
00:29:54,577 --> 00:29:55,797
"You can't do this."

501
00:29:57,545 --> 00:30:01,674
He played football
and really cared about football.

502
00:30:06,743 --> 00:30:07,471
(birds chirping)

503
00:30:07,472 --> 00:30:09,307
And struggled with it.

504
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:14,062
He often talks about how others
didn't believe he'd succeed in football.

505
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:17,315
As a parent, that was hard to see

506
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:20,944
because he wanted it so bad,
but nobody really saw him.

507
00:30:21,611 --> 00:30:25,031
He'd be on a football trip
where he had this coach.

508
00:30:25,198 --> 00:30:30,370
They went far away from home,
but he didn't get to play one minute.

509
00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:35,917
That doesn't really encourage
your motivation

510
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:39,504
yet he didn't want to give up.
He's not a quitter.

511
00:30:41,214 --> 00:30:42,382
Can you play more?

512
00:30:53,361 --> 00:30:56,444
(gentle tense music)

513
00:31:02,970 --> 00:31:05,700
- So tomorrow it's gonna
be quite a lot of wind

514
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:08,700
and most likely current in
here where you're gonna swim.

515
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,260
So this is too dangerous.

516
00:31:10,260 --> 00:31:11,580
And it's also the hypothermia

517
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:15,000
that normally will come
in about 15 minutes.

518
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,970
So the main concern is
gonna be his safety.

519
00:31:17,970 --> 00:31:20,280
And if anything happens
we just drop the cameras,

520
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,813
and we bring him to the shore.

521
00:31:22,813 --> 00:31:26,860
- So Anders, he hooked me
up on this Svalbard trip

522
00:31:28,410 --> 00:31:30,570
and he asked me to come and join him

523
00:31:30,570 --> 00:31:33,993
because he wanted to do a
half iceman in Svalbard.

524
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,140
And Anders assembled the team.

525
00:31:41,070 --> 00:31:42,480
And we went up there,

526
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,673
super naive about what was gonna happen.

527
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:49,983
And it turned out to be a
proper, proper, proper struggle.

528
00:31:53,802 --> 00:31:56,635
(water splashing)

529
00:31:58,527 --> 00:32:01,027
(tense music)

530
00:32:15,221 --> 00:32:18,510
- You're fucking great.
- Fingers are fucking cold.

531
00:32:18,510 --> 00:32:20,110
- [Nicklas] You had a good pace.

532
00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:24,630
- Where did I drop my mask?

533
00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:26,130
- [Nicklas] The mask is there.

534
00:32:29,793 --> 00:32:33,180
- He's been shaking and
showing signs of hypothermia

535
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:36,030
for the whole time he's been changing.

536
00:32:36,030 --> 00:32:39,817
So we are looking quite closely at him.

537
00:32:41,666 --> 00:32:44,583
(slow tense music)

538
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,810
- [Anders] I had never been
riding a bike in snow before,

539
00:33:18,810 --> 00:33:21,630
so just riding through
the snow and Svalbard,

540
00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:22,980
realizing how tough it was

541
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:24,930
and starting to fall over and over again.

542
00:33:24,930 --> 00:33:25,763
- Yeah!

543
00:33:26,822 --> 00:33:29,730
(cheering in foreign language)

544
00:33:29,730 --> 00:33:31,410
- And, you know, not only
finishing the bike leg,

545
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:32,580
but then having to, you know,

546
00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:34,203
run a half marathon afterwards.

547
00:33:36,570 --> 00:33:39,210
And I couldn't really
imagine finishing that.

548
00:33:39,210 --> 00:33:42,058
That was sort of where
I realized the challenge

549
00:33:42,058 --> 00:33:42,958
that I was facing.

550
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,730
- We went on for hours and hours

551
00:33:47,730 --> 00:33:51,270
and also way longer
than we were expecting,

552
00:33:51,270 --> 00:33:55,533
and he pushed himself to the limit.

553
00:33:56,700 --> 00:34:00,660
And to me that was just
another doubting moment

554
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:04,500
on this journey because he
obviously had to double that

555
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:06,260
once we reached Antarctica.

556
00:34:09,851 --> 00:34:13,184
(tense music continues)

557
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:29,740
(music fades)

558
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:36,883
(wind blowing)

559
00:34:43,889 --> 00:34:47,056
(gentle serene music)

560
00:35:15,321 --> 00:35:17,615
ChiIean Antarctic Base: I believe
you are bringing someone

561
00:35:17,615 --> 00:35:19,492
to do an activity here
at Base O'Higgins.

562
00:35:19,554 --> 00:35:23,054
- Much bigger wall than I had anticipated.

563
00:35:23,329 --> 00:35:25,331
Is it a triathlete?

564
00:35:29,752 --> 00:35:31,712
- This is not a bad ramp here.
- Yeah.

565
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:36,259
The question will be
what are the crevasses like.

566
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:37,892
- Yeah.

567
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:39,371
It's all an unknown.

568
00:35:39,372 --> 00:35:40,350
- Yeah.

569
00:35:40,350 --> 00:35:41,183
Wow.

570
00:35:43,573 --> 00:35:46,156
(somber music)

571
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,194
It looks like
there's a lot of penguins.

572
00:35:55,396 --> 00:35:58,119
like in front of the piers.

573
00:35:58,119 --> 00:35:59,813
Penguins means leopard seals.

574
00:36:02,984 --> 00:36:06,567
(gentle suspenseful music)

575
00:36:21,689 --> 00:36:24,356
(water gushing)

576
00:36:26,521 --> 00:36:28,216
- Two years, man.

577
00:36:28,216 --> 00:36:31,643
(laughs) It's fucking happening.

578
00:36:31,643 --> 00:36:34,310
(Anders whoops)

579
00:36:35,544 --> 00:36:37,977
(Anders sighs aloud)

580
00:36:37,977 --> 00:36:39,996
(Anders laughs)

581
00:36:39,996 --> 00:36:40,896
- We're here.

582
00:36:40,896 --> 00:36:43,146
- [Speaker Off Camera] Yes.

583
00:36:48,558 --> 00:36:49,478
- You fucking did it.

584
00:36:49,478 --> 00:36:50,915
- It's fucking insane, bro.

585
00:36:50,915 --> 00:36:52,520
Jan, the man.

586
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,187
(Anders laughs)

587
00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:00,600
Ah, yeah. Yeah.

588
00:37:02,978 --> 00:37:03,811
I mean, what...(laughs)

589
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:05,348
You ready?

590
00:37:07,170 --> 00:37:08,432
- I don't know.

591
00:37:08,432 --> 00:37:09,265
- It's insane man.

592
00:37:09,265 --> 00:37:11,850
- It's absolutely insane.

593
00:37:11,850 --> 00:37:12,827
I mean,

594
00:37:12,827 --> 00:37:14,910
(wind blowing)

595
00:37:14,910 --> 00:37:17,670
what we have done before up until now,

596
00:37:17,670 --> 00:37:21,024
is nothing compared to what this will be.

597
00:37:21,024 --> 00:37:23,691
(pensive music)

598
00:37:33,874 --> 00:37:35,131
(team chattering)

599
00:37:35,131 --> 00:37:36,085
- [Anders] But otherwise...

600
00:37:36,085 --> 00:37:36,918
- It's interesting though,

601
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:39,966
I find often on these trips
that the fittest

602
00:37:40,132 --> 00:37:43,986
most hard core dudes are the ones,
who cope seasickness the worst.

603
00:37:43,987 --> 00:37:44,814
- Yeah, you told me that. So that was...

604
00:37:44,815 --> 00:37:45,886
- Yeah, I don't know why I'm.

605
00:37:45,888 --> 00:37:47,390
I'm always really seasick.

606
00:37:47,353 --> 00:37:49,853
(team laughs)

607
00:37:52,890 --> 00:37:57,270
- Okay, so our plan for
tomorrow is make it to shore.

608
00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:59,714
Kiss the ground. 'Cause
you actually, (laughs)

609
00:37:59,714 --> 00:38:00,547
- [Anders] Yeah, I made it.

610
00:38:00,547 --> 00:38:02,970
- You've actually finished
with the sea passage.

611
00:38:02,970 --> 00:38:05,910
- And what are we doing, some
practicing tomorrow as well?

612
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:06,761
- I think we should.

613
00:38:06,761 --> 00:38:07,594
- Yeah.

614
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,411
We will.

615
00:38:12,411 --> 00:38:15,420
(everyone laughs)

616
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:16,503
We will, we will.

617
00:38:17,431 --> 00:38:19,890
- I think high on the priority
is learning how not to die.

618
00:38:19,890 --> 00:38:21,116
- Yeah.
- That's pretty high up there.

619
00:38:21,116 --> 00:38:22,607
- That's a good idea.
- High on the list.

620
00:38:22,607 --> 00:38:24,282
- That's goal number one.

621
00:38:24,282 --> 00:38:25,115
- Yeah.

622
00:38:25,115 --> 00:38:26,997
- Come back safe.

623
00:38:26,997 --> 00:38:28,204
- This time.

624
00:38:28,204 --> 00:38:29,316
- I'm a big boy.

625
00:38:29,316 --> 00:38:32,018
(team chatters)

626
00:38:32,018 --> 00:38:34,768
(waves crashing)

627
00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:38,820
(birds chirping)

628
00:38:45,371 --> 00:38:46,699
(Cath sighs)

629
00:38:46,699 --> 00:38:48,547
- Yeah. Phil.

630
00:38:48,547 --> 00:38:49,380
- [Anders] Phil.

631
00:38:49,380 --> 00:38:51,380
- Phil.
- [Anders] Phil.

632
00:38:55,590 --> 00:38:56,850
- Hmm. Okay.

633
00:38:56,850 --> 00:38:59,490
- [Cath] Doesn't allow landings
at all. That's ridiculous.

634
00:38:59,490 --> 00:39:02,430
- For consideration. I
mean, for consideration.

635
00:39:02,430 --> 00:39:04,530
So it's early next week. It's
not for a decision early.

636
00:39:04,530 --> 00:39:05,413
- So number one.

637
00:39:05,413 --> 00:39:07,530
- It's going to be put forward
for a decision to be made.

638
00:39:07,530 --> 00:39:08,363
It's not.

639
00:39:08,363 --> 00:39:10,320
- So we're gonna talk that experience,

640
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,543
maybe send them a copy
of your certificates,

641
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:14,867
first responder.

642
00:39:14,867 --> 00:39:16,590
- All the experiences

643
00:39:16,590 --> 00:39:20,580
like over 700 days skiing in Antarctica.

644
00:39:20,580 --> 00:39:23,073
Almost 150 different mountains climbed.

645
00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:27,840
So in the meantime, as the email says,

646
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,840
we are not authorized to
conduct the project here.

647
00:39:33,180 --> 00:39:37,350
So do we say that the
project is now on hold,

648
00:39:37,350 --> 00:39:40,380
project Iceman is on hold,
until we get confirmation

649
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:44,133
from the Australian Antarctic
division that we can continue?

650
00:39:45,004 --> 00:39:45,900
- [Cath] Yeah.

651
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:48,630
- I think I feel this
in terms of the morale,

652
00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:51,263
I feel like this has been
the essence of the project.

653
00:39:52,590 --> 00:39:54,150
That it's supposed to be difficult.

654
00:39:54,150 --> 00:39:59,150
I mean even, even five, five
freaking meters from the shore.

655
00:40:03,139 --> 00:40:05,100
And I don't wanna postpone it anymore.

656
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:06,750
I mean, we've sailed across the Drake.

657
00:40:06,750 --> 00:40:09,660
I've been puking for, you know, two days,

658
00:40:09,660 --> 00:40:11,640
and I'm not in control of, you know,

659
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,910
when you do a regular event
or triathlon or whatever,

660
00:40:14,910 --> 00:40:17,160
you know the date, you know
the time, you know everything.

661
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,110
Here I have nothing, zero clues.

662
00:40:19,110 --> 00:40:21,120
I don't even know, I mean,

663
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,620
I don't know where I'm gonna swim.

664
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:23,700
I don't know where I'm gonna bike.

665
00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:24,720
I don't know the conditions.

666
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:26,160
I don't know where I'm gonna run.

667
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,330
I don't know what the
weather's gonna be like.

668
00:40:27,330 --> 00:40:28,800
I don't know how cold it's gonna be.

669
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,420
I have zero clues,

670
00:40:30,420 --> 00:40:34,053
and I have to do it within
10 days probably. Right?

671
00:40:36,930 --> 00:40:38,700
And I've spent,

672
00:40:38,700 --> 00:40:42,903
I mean I've invested
everything I have to be here.

673
00:40:43,770 --> 00:40:44,973
I have nothing left.

674
00:40:46,629 --> 00:40:49,212
(gentle music)

675
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:53,640
I mean, when I first thought of the idea,

676
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,810
I just no way expected it
would be this challenging

677
00:40:57,810 --> 00:41:00,453
besides sort of the physical challenge.

678
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:05,220
I had no money to pay anyone else.

679
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:07,860
So I had to be in charge of everything,

680
00:41:07,860 --> 00:41:10,710
both the training but also
the logistics, funding,

681
00:41:10,710 --> 00:41:13,440
the financial side of
things, the legal stuff,

682
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,780
the social media.

683
00:41:15,780 --> 00:41:19,110
If you have any questions,
put them in the comments.

684
00:41:19,110 --> 00:41:21,303
Otherwise follow and subscribe.

685
00:41:22,650 --> 00:41:24,840
I cut down my financials completely.

686
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,370
I lived up my, you know,

687
00:41:26,370 --> 00:41:28,653
I lived in my own living
room on the couch.

688
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:31,323
Back to reality.

689
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,320
Lucky there's something called Airbnb,

690
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,760
so I can cover my expenses.

691
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,980
So I'm cleaning this shit up.

692
00:41:40,980 --> 00:41:44,490
Everything just went into this project.

693
00:41:44,490 --> 00:41:46,530
The first deposit for this trip,

694
00:41:46,530 --> 00:41:48,450
I paid all the money that I had.

695
00:41:48,450 --> 00:41:50,160
And it was nonrefundable.

696
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,890
In order to get the
financials from sponsors

697
00:41:52,890 --> 00:41:55,530
you need sort of awareness.

698
00:41:55,530 --> 00:41:58,350
I was not, you know,
a public known person,

699
00:41:58,350 --> 00:42:01,650
just a random guy with this crazy idea.

700
00:42:01,650 --> 00:42:03,333
I was just a nobody.

701
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,690
Haven't found a partner yet that really

702
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,600
believes just as much in it.

703
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,480
And obviously, you know, (chuckles)

704
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:16,638
why would they?

705
00:42:16,638 --> 00:42:17,670
(sighs)

706
00:42:17,670 --> 00:42:19,920
And the fact that I'm
sitting here doing this

707
00:42:23,130 --> 00:42:24,270
feels, kind of,

708
00:42:24,270 --> 00:42:28,320
feels kind of pathetic
sitting in the morning

709
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,620
complaining about my life.

710
00:42:33,660 --> 00:42:35,520
Another thing is also to fucking remember

711
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,420
why I'm doing this.

712
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:37,360
And that is

713
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,093
to prove,

714
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,057
to do this,

715
00:42:45,057 --> 00:42:50,057
and to show that limitations
are only fucking perceptions.

716
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:52,927
(pensive music)

717
00:42:55,170 --> 00:42:56,910
- It would be so much easier

718
00:42:56,910 --> 00:42:59,490
to know that finances are taken care of,

719
00:42:59,490 --> 00:43:01,350
and you know, I've got X amount of dollars

720
00:43:01,350 --> 00:43:04,013
to pay for a team, and
nutrition, and nutritionist.

721
00:43:04,013 --> 00:43:07,530
(exercise bike whirs)

722
00:43:07,530 --> 00:43:08,820
You're trying to figure out

723
00:43:08,820 --> 00:43:11,340
just physically how to do this mentally,

724
00:43:11,340 --> 00:43:14,223
and then you throw on
top of it financially.

725
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:19,740
I've been doing this for over a decade,

726
00:43:19,740 --> 00:43:21,480
and when I first started
going on this journey,

727
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,245
I was like, "Oh, I'm gonna
break a world record.

728
00:43:23,245 --> 00:43:24,840
I'm gonna go get financing,

729
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,720
I'm gonna get backed by
big corporate sponsors."

730
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,227
Corporate sponsors would say,

731
00:43:29,227 --> 00:43:32,097
"We can't afford to associate
ourselves with a failure."

732
00:43:33,570 --> 00:43:35,910
And I was like, "I haven't,
I haven't failed yet."

733
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:38,400
But they're like, "But
you're going to fail."

734
00:43:38,532 --> 00:43:42,453
- All right. Thanks anyways.
- Sorry I couldn't help.

735
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:46,165
- It's okay.
- Have a nice day.

736
00:43:47,010 --> 00:43:48,180
- I knew I was running out of time

737
00:43:48,180 --> 00:43:51,030
in terms of getting sponsorships

738
00:43:51,030 --> 00:43:53,460
to make the expedition happen.

739
00:43:53,460 --> 00:43:56,847
So I had to figure out, you
know, what else can I do?

740
00:43:56,847 --> 00:43:59,280
(pensive music)

741
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,713
I did what everybody advised me not to do.

742
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,900
I borrowed a hundred thousand dollars.

743
00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:08,040
My father thought, you know,

744
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,640
I was completely out of my mind.

745
00:44:13,950 --> 00:44:15,288
For me, I think at the time

746
00:44:15,288 --> 00:44:19,500
I was just looking at doing
whatever it would take

747
00:44:19,500 --> 00:44:21,060
in order to make the expedition happen

748
00:44:21,060 --> 00:44:21,900
so I could give myself

749
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:24,663
the chance of actually doing the Iceman.

750
00:44:37,490 --> 00:44:40,823
(soft knocking on door)

751
00:44:42,925 --> 00:44:44,250
(door creaks open)

752
00:44:44,250 --> 00:44:45,310
- No way!

753
00:44:45,310 --> 00:44:46,508
(friend clapping)

754
00:44:46,508 --> 00:44:48,067
Are you kidding me!

755
00:44:48,067 --> 00:44:48,829
Yes Theory!

756
00:44:48,830 --> 00:44:49,185
- [Anthon] No.

757
00:44:49,186 --> 00:44:51,230
- [Ammar] I know it was
supposed to be a phone call.

758
00:44:52,246 --> 00:44:53,663
- Oh my god, I...

759
00:44:54,316 --> 00:44:55,943
So great to meet you guys!

760
00:44:56,752 --> 00:44:57,900
Oh my God.

761
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:58,800
Let's go upstairs.

762
00:44:59,821 --> 00:45:00,750
- [Ammar] This is the operation room.

763
00:45:00,750 --> 00:45:01,673
- This is the operation room man.

764
00:45:01,673 --> 00:45:03,180
This is where it all started.

765
00:45:03,180 --> 00:45:04,860
- Dude, I've seen a bunch of your videos.

766
00:45:04,860 --> 00:45:06,474
So this is where it happens.

767
00:45:06,474 --> 00:45:07,800
- [Anders] This is where it happens.

768
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:08,807
- [Matt] You know, I love that.

769
00:45:08,807 --> 00:45:09,690
- I'm happy to hear that.

770
00:45:09,690 --> 00:45:11,790
People make fun of my accent
when I speak in English.

771
00:45:11,790 --> 00:45:12,756
- [Matt] Oh no, dude.

772
00:45:12,756 --> 00:45:14,828
- Actually I didn't meet you. Anders.

773
00:45:14,828 --> 00:45:15,958
- Nice to meet you. Herman.

774
00:45:15,958 --> 00:45:16,791
I'm from Norway actually.

775
00:45:16,791 --> 00:45:17,624
- [Anders] Nice to meet you.

776
00:45:17,624 --> 00:45:19,020
- So, let's sit down.

777
00:45:19,020 --> 00:45:21,270
I'll give you the recap of
what's happening right now.

778
00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:22,320
You told me about your mission,

779
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,570
about where you're up to, and
everybody was just so down

780
00:45:24,570 --> 00:45:26,907
to figure out a way to support you.

781
00:45:26,907 --> 00:45:28,077
And support the mission that you're on.

782
00:45:28,077 --> 00:45:30,420
- And you mentioned the
loan that you've gotten.

783
00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:31,345
- [Anders] Yeah.

784
00:45:31,345 --> 00:45:32,250
- Which is like the dedication.

785
00:45:32,250 --> 00:45:33,900
- [Anders] Yeah.
- Just blew us away.

786
00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:35,820
- That was not really the plan
from the beginning at all.

787
00:45:35,820 --> 00:45:37,620
I didn't think it was
gonna be so difficult

788
00:45:37,620 --> 00:45:39,480
to get sponsorships and all this.

789
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,400
But banks said, you
know, "Forget about it."

790
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:42,960
They told me that a long time ago.

791
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,140
I started reaching out to,
yeah, friends, and network

792
00:45:46,140 --> 00:45:48,000
and then I actually made investment deals.

793
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,103
So I actually give them a return of 20%.

794
00:45:50,103 --> 00:45:50,936
- [Matt] Wow.
- [Ammar] Wow.

795
00:45:50,936 --> 00:45:54,090
- To actually show, not only
so they are helping me out.

796
00:45:54,090 --> 00:45:55,830
But, so it's actually a
good investment for them.

797
00:45:55,830 --> 00:45:58,050
But I just wanted to show that you know,

798
00:45:58,050 --> 00:46:00,240
how much I actually
believe that I, you know,

799
00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:01,170
I can make this happen.

800
00:46:01,170 --> 00:46:02,003
- Throughout the years

801
00:46:02,003 --> 00:46:04,530
I've seen so many people go
after big audacious goals

802
00:46:04,530 --> 00:46:06,330
and some people just
do it out of, you know,

803
00:46:06,330 --> 00:46:09,240
the show of saying that
they're doing this crazy thing.

804
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:11,250
But very few actually
end up following through.

805
00:46:11,250 --> 00:46:13,650
So the thing that was
different about Anders

806
00:46:13,650 --> 00:46:15,600
is that he had already
made the bet on himself.

807
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,460
We also believe that you
can make this happen.

808
00:46:17,460 --> 00:46:19,350
- [Anders] I really appreciate it man.

809
00:46:19,350 --> 00:46:21,180
- We came with a request.

810
00:46:21,180 --> 00:46:23,160
- Yeah?
- It would be an honor for us,

811
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:24,630
for you to be the first ever

812
00:46:24,630 --> 00:46:27,660
Seek Discomfort-sponsored human.

813
00:46:27,660 --> 00:46:28,602
And, we're not...

814
00:46:28,602 --> 00:46:29,435
- You're kidding me, right?

815
00:46:29,435 --> 00:46:30,540
- No, we're not.

816
00:46:30,540 --> 00:46:32,490
There was just something about
the quality of his spirit

817
00:46:32,490 --> 00:46:34,290
and the way he spoke from his heart.

818
00:46:34,290 --> 00:46:36,060
- I think the most difficult thing in life

819
00:46:36,060 --> 00:46:39,660
is that, you know, the belief
has to start within yourself.

820
00:46:39,660 --> 00:46:41,297
Telling yourself that it is, you know,

821
00:46:41,297 --> 00:46:43,200
"It is possible. And I will do this."

822
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,750
And eventually when you do
this over and over, you know,

823
00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:47,580
we start believing it ourselves.

824
00:46:47,580 --> 00:46:49,140
And when you start believing in yourself,

825
00:46:49,140 --> 00:46:50,520
ironically other people believe,

826
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,560
start believing in you as well.

827
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:53,393
- Right.

828
00:46:54,233 --> 00:46:58,446
- I mean, I still can't believe it. Crazy.

829
00:46:58,446 --> 00:47:01,446
(audience applauds)

830
00:47:03,758 --> 00:47:06,030
- There is nothing that we
love doing at Yes Theory more

831
00:47:06,030 --> 00:47:09,030
than supporting dreams and dreamers.

832
00:47:09,030 --> 00:47:12,543
We would like to offer Anders Hofman,

833
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:16,985
a check for a hundred
thousand Danish Krone.

834
00:47:16,985 --> 00:47:20,902
(audience cheers and applauds)

835
00:47:24,450 --> 00:47:25,530
- [Interviewer] Can you
talk to us a little bit

836
00:47:25,530 --> 00:47:28,320
about the responsibility that you felt

837
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,183
when they all set sail to Antarctica?

838
00:47:31,530 --> 00:47:34,087
- Oh yeah. That kept me up at night.

839
00:47:34,087 --> 00:47:39,087
(wind blowing)
(water sloshing)

840
00:47:43,980 --> 00:47:45,443
- [Anders] Oh, there's another one.

841
00:47:47,790 --> 00:47:51,480
- There have been attacks
and sadly fatalities

842
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,523
from leopard seal attacks on humans.

843
00:47:58,300 --> 00:48:01,290
(leopard seal snorts and grunts)

844
00:48:01,290 --> 00:48:03,610
Something swimming in its environment

845
00:48:05,130 --> 00:48:08,373
with say a black wetsuit
looks very much like a seal,

846
00:48:09,270 --> 00:48:10,830
except seals swim very well.

847
00:48:10,830 --> 00:48:14,133
So human swimming would
look like an injured seal.

848
00:48:15,060 --> 00:48:17,343
And that, of course, is easy prey.

849
00:48:19,410 --> 00:48:20,243
- [Team Member 1] There's two of them.

850
00:48:20,243 --> 00:48:21,453
- Two of them?
- [Team Member 1] Yeah,

851
00:48:21,453 --> 00:48:22,711
there's one over there
in the front back here.

852
00:48:22,711 --> 00:48:23,630
- Oh.

853
00:48:23,630 --> 00:48:24,870
- [Team Member 1] We can't really see it.

854
00:48:24,870 --> 00:48:25,703
- That means

855
00:48:25,703 --> 00:48:26,536
- [Oli] The word's out.

856
00:48:26,536 --> 00:48:28,320
- That means that's, that's, that's five.

857
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,150
- [Oli] The word's out.

858
00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:31,416
- Right?

859
00:48:31,416 --> 00:48:32,546
- [Team Member 1] You said the word's out.

860
00:48:32,546 --> 00:48:34,530
- Was that the, the first one we saw,

861
00:48:34,530 --> 00:48:35,363
was that the one that went...

862
00:48:35,363 --> 00:48:36,196
Oh,

863
00:48:38,511 --> 00:48:39,900
(laughing nervously)

864
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:41,757
- [Team Member 1] Yo, that's freaky bro.

865
00:48:42,634 --> 00:48:44,093
- [Team Member 2] Go back.

866
00:48:44,093 --> 00:48:46,470
- Hey, so bro, just
wanna say that, you know,

867
00:48:46,470 --> 00:48:47,307
I'm not gonna do anything.

868
00:48:47,307 --> 00:48:48,840
I'm just gonna have a little swim here.

869
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,423
I hope that's okay with you.

870
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,670
You over there as well.

871
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:57,810
I feel like, you know, when we arrive

872
00:48:57,810 --> 00:49:01,470
we're talking about it and
then just like 50 meters

873
00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:04,223
from where we've anchored and
just like five leopard seals.

874
00:49:09,813 --> 00:49:12,980
(leopard seal snorts)

875
00:49:14,248 --> 00:49:18,831
(calm music playing in the background)

876
00:49:20,664 --> 00:49:24,831
♪ I wish I never saw the sunshine ♪

877
00:49:25,918 --> 00:49:29,250
- Woohoo. It's approved. (laughs)

878
00:49:29,250 --> 00:49:30,450
There you go.

879
00:49:30,450 --> 00:49:33,513
That's amazing that they did
it that fast, to be honest.

880
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:36,066
- [Anders] What are you saying?

881
00:49:36,066 --> 00:49:37,288
(Cath and Anders laugh)

882
00:49:37,288 --> 00:49:38,790
That the delegate has approved

883
00:49:38,790 --> 00:49:43,110
your authorization variation
request. (chuckles)

884
00:49:43,110 --> 00:49:43,943
- Let's go!

885
00:49:46,691 --> 00:49:47,524
- Oh.

886
00:49:47,524 --> 00:49:49,087
- Yeah I'll take charge of that.

887
00:49:49,950 --> 00:49:52,020
I'm impressed they did it so fast.

888
00:49:52,020 --> 00:49:54,687
Like that's pretty awesome
for a government department

889
00:49:54,687 --> 00:49:56,733
to move that quickly. Yeah.

890
00:49:57,690 --> 00:49:59,654
- Oh my god.
- That's really good news.

891
00:49:59,654 --> 00:50:00,545
- Yeah.

892
00:50:00,545 --> 00:50:05,545
(wind blowing)
(waves crashing)

893
00:50:07,260 --> 00:50:09,330
- So what this is suggesting is our window

894
00:50:09,330 --> 00:50:13,770
is here between 9:00 PM Saturday night.

895
00:50:13,770 --> 00:50:16,350
I'm not fussed about the light snowfall.

896
00:50:16,350 --> 00:50:19,137
We wanna be finished by Sunday 1800.

897
00:50:19,137 --> 00:50:21,570
- How long you expect it to last

898
00:50:21,570 --> 00:50:23,763
with the current conditions up there?

899
00:50:23,763 --> 00:50:27,840
Because we have a good window of 24 hours.

900
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:28,860
But I agree with Phil

901
00:50:28,860 --> 00:50:32,910
to start basically the
earliest we can on Saturday,

902
00:50:32,910 --> 00:50:35,613
because that will leave 24 hours.

903
00:50:36,717 --> 00:50:38,941
- Yeah. And then I have 36 hours.

904
00:50:38,941 --> 00:50:41,137
- Yeah, 36 hours.

905
00:50:41,137 --> 00:50:41,970
- [Cath] Yeah.

906
00:50:41,970 --> 00:50:43,750
- [Anthon] And that's when
you, that's when you...

907
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:48,480
- So the route starts four
kilometers along the coast

908
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,130
in front of the ice cliffs,

909
00:50:50,130 --> 00:50:54,510
and the swimming route will
be accompanied by two boats

910
00:50:54,510 --> 00:50:58,953
until Anders reaches the shore
in front of the glacial ramp.

911
00:50:59,940 --> 00:51:02,250
The route then goes up the glacial ramp

912
00:51:02,250 --> 00:51:05,370
where we've marked a safe
route around the crevasses

913
00:51:05,370 --> 00:51:10,290
for about five kilometers
to reach the main circuit.

914
00:51:10,290 --> 00:51:13,590
And the main circuit
is two kilometers long

915
00:51:13,590 --> 00:51:15,120
in the middle of the glacier,

916
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,258
in an area that is free of crevasses.

917
00:51:18,258 --> 00:51:23,130
And we've placed two camps,
each one, a kilometer apart.

918
00:51:23,130 --> 00:51:27,030
And from those camps we
have two people in each tent

919
00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:29,910
that provide safety cover
and pacing for Anders

920
00:51:29,910 --> 00:51:31,090
during the project.

921
00:51:32,056 --> 00:51:34,639
(somber music)

922
00:51:46,714 --> 00:51:50,131
(somber music continues)

923
00:52:01,250 --> 00:52:03,917
(water lapping)

924
00:52:07,495 --> 00:52:09,784
(somber music continues)

925
00:52:09,784 --> 00:52:11,901
- [Oli] How many hours of energy is the...

926
00:52:11,901 --> 00:52:12,818
- 36 hours.

927
00:52:14,450 --> 00:52:15,441
It should be.
- Yeah.

928
00:52:15,441 --> 00:52:16,274
It should be enough.

929
00:52:16,274 --> 00:52:17,152
- Mm hm.

930
00:52:17,152 --> 00:52:18,735
- Should be enough.

931
00:52:19,935 --> 00:52:22,852
(horn blowing low)

932
00:52:31,180 --> 00:52:32,355
- [Anders] Oh cold day.

933
00:52:32,355 --> 00:52:35,032
Can I help you with something?

934
00:52:35,032 --> 00:52:37,033
(Phil shivering)

935
00:52:37,033 --> 00:52:38,286
Can I help you Phil with something?

936
00:52:38,286 --> 00:52:39,934
- No, I just need to,

937
00:52:39,934 --> 00:52:41,562
I think I need to get a wet shower.

938
00:52:41,562 --> 00:52:45,729
- [Anders] Yes. Should I
go make it ready for you?

939
00:52:46,950 --> 00:52:47,875
- [Anthon] Bring him some sugar.

940
00:52:47,875 --> 00:52:48,933
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

941
00:52:53,158 --> 00:52:53,991
There you go.

942
00:52:53,991 --> 00:52:55,473
Just chuck that.

943
00:52:58,950 --> 00:52:59,783
- That's gross.

944
00:52:59,783 --> 00:53:01,694
- Yeah. (chuckles)

945
00:53:01,694 --> 00:53:03,096
But it'll help.

946
00:53:03,096 --> 00:53:04,346
It'll help you.

947
00:53:08,433 --> 00:53:09,266
It's gonna be cold.

948
00:53:09,266 --> 00:53:10,849
- Cold for my feet.

949
00:53:13,093 --> 00:53:14,546
You want any help?

950
00:53:14,546 --> 00:53:17,010
It's all right, can I just
put these on the dryer?

951
00:53:17,010 --> 00:53:18,150
'Cause I need my boots.

952
00:53:18,150 --> 00:53:20,526
- [Anthon] I'll have some
hot water soon for you.

953
00:53:20,526 --> 00:53:23,609
(equipment clanging)

954
00:53:37,350 --> 00:53:38,305
- Good night.

955
00:53:38,305 --> 00:53:40,780
- [Anthon] Good night.

956
00:53:40,780 --> 00:53:41,780
Sleep tight.

957
00:53:43,319 --> 00:53:44,238
See you tomorrow.

958
00:53:44,238 --> 00:53:45,821
- See you tomorrow.

959
00:53:46,791 --> 00:53:48,210
See you tomorrow Jan.

960
00:53:48,210 --> 00:53:49,905
- [Jan] See you tomorrow.

961
00:53:49,905 --> 00:53:52,655
(Anders exhales)

962
00:53:56,711 --> 00:53:59,128
(wind blows)

963
00:54:09,058 --> 00:54:11,725
(boat creaking)

964
00:54:19,298 --> 00:54:20,548
Play the games.

965
00:54:22,277 --> 00:54:24,524
There are not gonna be any left.

966
00:54:24,524 --> 00:54:27,840
- There are not gonna be any
left, I like that mentality.

967
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,980
It's nice living in a dream world.

968
00:54:52,787 --> 00:54:55,370
(low rumbling)

969
00:54:56,251 --> 00:54:59,001
(Anders exhales)

970
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,063
(wind blowing)

971
00:55:11,912 --> 00:55:14,245
(Oli claps)

972
00:55:17,757 --> 00:55:19,840
- Conditions are perfect.

973
00:55:40,367 --> 00:55:42,784
(team claps)

974
00:55:43,980 --> 00:55:46,920
- [Anders] We all live in our
own perception of the world.

975
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:47,753
Right?

976
00:55:49,470 --> 00:55:52,320
And that's influenced by everyone.

977
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:53,859
It's influenced by ourselves,

978
00:55:53,859 --> 00:55:56,747
our friends and family, our society.

979
00:55:56,747 --> 00:55:58,950
(Zodiacs hum softly)

980
00:55:58,950 --> 00:56:02,070
And that become the
construct of our world,

981
00:56:02,070 --> 00:56:03,870
and sort of the box that we live in.

982
00:56:06,252 --> 00:56:08,919
(pensive music)

983
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,083
We accept that story.

984
00:56:18,870 --> 00:56:20,670
But I think the dangerous
thing is when you follow

985
00:56:20,670 --> 00:56:23,403
the experiences and
advice from other people.

986
00:56:26,741 --> 00:56:28,080
In this world, people have opinions

987
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,630
about anything and everyone.

988
00:56:30,630 --> 00:56:32,490
- So I only see two major reasons

989
00:56:32,490 --> 00:56:34,500
why we're gonna have to stop this,

990
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:37,023
fatigue, exhaustion, and cold.

991
00:56:38,730 --> 00:56:42,060
I'll monitor that and that's
my role to make that call.

992
00:56:42,060 --> 00:56:45,330
The other one is seals,

993
00:56:45,330 --> 00:56:47,100
wildlife problems.

994
00:56:47,100 --> 00:56:49,230
Anders has a bloody loud whistle,

995
00:56:49,230 --> 00:56:51,540
and I think we all agreed
that if we see a seal,

996
00:56:51,540 --> 00:56:52,797
we put a time out.

997
00:56:52,797 --> 00:56:53,630
- [Anders] Yeah.

998
00:56:53,630 --> 00:56:54,773
- [Speaker Off Camera]
Yeah Put him out the water.

999
00:56:58,350 --> 00:57:01,470
- [Anders] Because when you
listen to people around you,

1000
00:57:01,470 --> 00:57:03,780
especially when you're young, you know,

1001
00:57:03,780 --> 00:57:05,760
you think that comes from somewhere right?

1002
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,293
And they must have a point.

1003
00:57:08,580 --> 00:57:09,434
- [Team Member] You got it.

1004
00:57:09,434 --> 00:57:10,267
(team cheering)

1005
00:57:10,267 --> 00:57:12,120
- [Anders] You don't make
those reflective thoughts

1006
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,133
and are critical towards that input.

1007
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,813
There's only one person who
can find out where my limit is.

1008
00:57:19,813 --> 00:57:22,858
(Anders splashes in the water)

1009
00:57:22,858 --> 00:57:25,097
(team cheering)

1010
00:57:25,097 --> 00:57:28,097
(boat engine chugs)

1011
00:57:44,380 --> 00:57:46,963
(soft humming)

1012
00:57:51,095 --> 00:57:54,345
(tense brooding music)

1013
00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:08,103
(water splashing)

1014
00:58:12,791 --> 00:58:15,291
(tense music)

1015
00:58:48,753 --> 00:58:53,753
(water lapping)
(wind blowing)

1016
00:58:55,789 --> 00:58:57,876
(water splashing)

1017
00:58:57,876 --> 00:58:59,427
(boat engine whirs)

1018
00:58:59,427 --> 00:59:02,094
(whistle blows)

1019
00:59:03,926 --> 00:59:06,503
(tense music)

1020
00:59:06,503 --> 00:59:09,253
(water gurgling)

1021
00:59:11,769 --> 00:59:14,688
(whistle blows)

1022
00:59:14,688 --> 00:59:17,104
- Anders, got some big ice here.

1023
00:59:17,104 --> 00:59:17,937
- All right.

1024
00:59:17,937 --> 00:59:21,342
- Just got two big bits of big ice.

1025
00:59:21,391 --> 00:59:23,351
Well done, Anders.
We're almost there.

1026
00:59:25,952 --> 00:59:28,785
(Anders coughing)

1027
00:59:34,856 --> 00:59:38,439
(gentle suspenseful music)

1028
00:59:45,455 --> 00:59:47,872
- [Team Member] Fuckin' hell.

1029
00:59:54,828 --> 00:59:57,495
(water lapping)

1030
01:00:13,803 --> 01:00:16,553
(waves crashing)

1031
01:00:21,617 --> 01:00:22,450
- Oh,

1032
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:25,203
my feet are frozen.

1033
01:00:26,073 --> 01:00:27,570
Oh.

1034
01:00:27,570 --> 01:00:28,403
Oh.

1035
01:00:29,671 --> 01:00:32,402
Oh. I can't feel my feet.

1036
01:00:32,402 --> 01:00:33,235
Oh.

1037
01:00:34,170 --> 01:00:35,003
Oh,

1038
01:00:43,461 --> 01:00:46,767
I can't believe I fucking did that.

1039
01:00:46,767 --> 01:00:49,127
(equipment clanging)

1040
01:00:49,127 --> 01:00:52,050
(Anders breathing heavily)

1041
01:00:52,050 --> 01:00:53,133
I forgot a towel.

1042
01:00:56,776 --> 01:01:00,443
(wetsuit gloves squelching)

1043
01:01:03,371 --> 01:01:06,954
(Anders breathing shakily)

1044
01:01:17,096 --> 01:01:21,383
(Anders continues breathing shakily)

1045
01:01:21,383 --> 01:01:24,050
(pensive music)

1046
01:01:27,754 --> 01:01:28,587
- Yeah.

1047
01:01:28,587 --> 01:01:31,866
(Phil laughs)

1048
01:01:31,866 --> 01:01:32,699
- Nice.

1049
01:01:34,428 --> 01:01:35,345
No looking.

1050
01:01:39,466 --> 01:01:42,049
It's okay. He's wearing shorts.

1051
01:01:44,580 --> 01:01:46,610
- I fucking swam four kilometers.

1052
01:01:47,513 --> 01:01:49,846
I went in fucking ice water.

1053
01:01:51,104 --> 01:01:52,487
- [Voice Over The Radio] Let Anders know

1054
01:01:52,487 --> 01:01:56,645
that the conditions are
firm and very good. Over.

1055
01:01:56,645 --> 01:02:00,228
(Anders breathing shakily)

1056
01:02:07,014 --> 01:02:09,132
Cramp, cramp, cramp...

1057
01:02:09,133 --> 01:02:09,966
Oh.

1058
01:02:12,229 --> 01:02:15,063
(Anders exhales)

1059
01:02:15,064 --> 01:02:16,482
Oh, cramp!

1060
01:02:28,143 --> 01:02:29,160
- [Voice Over The Radio]
He's walking the bike up

1061
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,008
to the start point now.

1062
01:02:31,008 --> 01:02:31,841
- Hurt my back.

1063
01:02:31,841 --> 01:02:33,720
(feet squelching snow)

1064
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:34,553
Oh.

1065
01:02:37,136 --> 01:02:37,969
Oh.

1066
01:02:40,818 --> 01:02:43,401
(wind blowing)

1067
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,257
(Anders inhales sharply)

1068
01:02:55,489 --> 01:02:56,322
(Anders exhales)

1069
01:02:56,322 --> 01:02:57,199
- [Voice Over Radio] He's
reached the starting point.

1070
01:02:57,199 --> 01:02:59,449
He's about to take off now.

1071
01:03:00,985 --> 01:03:01,944
And we're off.

1072
01:03:07,205 --> 01:03:09,907
(gentle suspenseful music)

1073
01:03:09,907 --> 01:03:12,559
(radio crackling)

1074
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:15,226
(radio chatter)

1075
01:03:28,561 --> 01:03:32,144
(gentle suspenseful music)

1076
01:03:38,923 --> 01:03:41,460
- Anders was up the glacier.

1077
01:03:41,460 --> 01:03:43,530
I was high fiving people on the boat,

1078
01:03:43,530 --> 01:03:44,700
and we had really planned

1079
01:03:44,700 --> 01:03:49,700
for having this weather window of 36 hours

1080
01:03:49,770 --> 01:03:53,823
and I was like, conditions
are looking good.

1081
01:04:09,517 --> 01:04:12,434
(low wind blowing)

1082
01:04:24,814 --> 01:04:26,264
(Anders sniffs)
- First lap,

1083
01:04:28,050 --> 01:04:29,013
four kilometers,

1084
01:04:30,090 --> 01:04:31,670
one hour 20 minutes.

1085
01:04:32,934 --> 01:04:35,163
I have 43 left to go.

1086
01:04:40,183 --> 01:04:42,933
(Anders exhales)

1087
01:04:46,740 --> 01:04:49,620
I've already given up
on counting my falls.

1088
01:04:49,620 --> 01:04:51,960
One thing is for sure I'm
never gonna swim that again.

1089
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:53,456
So I need to do this.

1090
01:04:53,456 --> 01:04:54,570
(snow squelching)

1091
01:04:54,570 --> 01:04:56,237
Whatever it's gonna take.

1092
01:04:58,893 --> 01:05:01,726
(snow squelching)

1093
01:05:16,329 --> 01:05:18,164
I'm carrying enough shit.

1094
01:05:24,117 --> 01:05:28,620
The only place I can drive
is where you've been skiing

1095
01:05:28,620 --> 01:05:29,580
or walking snowshoe.

1096
01:05:29,580 --> 01:05:32,280
So that's the place we should
try to harden even more.

1097
01:05:33,674 --> 01:05:35,943
- [Phil] Okay. Is that
both north and south?

1098
01:05:37,170 --> 01:05:38,089
- Yes.

1099
01:05:38,089 --> 01:05:40,672
(tire hissing)

1100
01:05:49,030 --> 01:05:51,420
The swim was physical torture.

1101
01:05:51,420 --> 01:05:52,881
Bike is just mental torture.

1102
01:05:52,881 --> 01:05:53,714
- [Camera Person] (chuckles) Yeah.

1103
01:05:54,759 --> 01:05:57,330
(snow squelching)

1104
01:05:57,330 --> 01:06:00,693
- From the get go, the bike
was just a pain in the ass.

1105
01:06:10,019 --> 01:06:11,201
At many points he felt like,

1106
01:06:11,201 --> 01:06:15,063
"Okay, this is 180 kilometers of this,

1107
01:06:18,990 --> 01:06:19,893
it's not possible."

1108
01:06:19,893 --> 01:06:21,180
- When you do reach Anton,

1109
01:06:21,180 --> 01:06:25,560
can you tell him to bring
my spare cycling shoes?

1110
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,050
Herman had them in the camera bag,

1111
01:06:28,050 --> 01:06:29,733
or the bag with all your,

1112
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:33,040
with the camera team's

1113
01:06:35,970 --> 01:06:38,433
sleeping stuff that came up yesterday.

1114
01:06:41,944 --> 01:06:44,777
(snow squelching)

1115
01:06:50,752 --> 01:06:53,190
10 kilometers. Three hours and 53.

1116
01:06:53,190 --> 01:06:54,840
- That's the conditions.

1117
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,480
We'll try to walk the
track. What do you suggest?

1118
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:58,385
How do you feel like...?

1119
01:06:58,386 --> 01:07:00,015
- I suggest you make a new track.

1120
01:07:00,016 --> 01:07:02,643
Give me some feedback.
No more excuses!

1121
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,481
I know this looks shit,
but give me some feedback

1122
01:07:07,565 --> 01:07:10,609
we'll try to give it a go
on the south track.

1123
01:07:10,903 --> 01:07:13,736
(snow squelching)

1124
01:07:17,199 --> 01:07:19,910
Excuses? What the fuck
are you talking about?

1125
01:07:20,114 --> 01:07:22,679
- [Nicklas Over Radio] Are
we abandoning north camp?

1126
01:07:22,679 --> 01:07:24,596
Should I join you guys?

1127
01:07:26,557 --> 01:07:28,080
- [Voice 2 Over Radio] Hey Nicklas,

1128
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,353
we need you ASAP in south camp.

1129
01:07:39,810 --> 01:07:43,780
- We made the decision to
change the location of the route

1130
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,360
to the boundary of the snow line,

1131
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:52,680
so where it's just bare rock hard ice,

1132
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:56,730
and Anders started cycling
backwards and forwards

1133
01:07:56,730 --> 01:08:00,630
on a much smaller track
just to keep cycling.

1134
01:08:00,630 --> 01:08:01,670
- [Team Member] The
easiest way to do it now

1135
01:08:01,670 --> 01:08:02,700
is just with the boots.

1136
01:08:02,700 --> 01:08:05,130
But once we get the shovels,
that's gonna be primed.

1137
01:08:05,130 --> 01:08:05,963
- Get the shovel yeah.

1138
01:08:05,963 --> 01:08:07,186
- [Team Member 2] There comes the shovels.

1139
01:08:07,186 --> 01:08:09,020
- Fuck, we forgot to tell fucking them

1140
01:08:09,020 --> 01:08:10,385
to bring down the shovels.

1141
01:08:10,385 --> 01:08:11,218
- [Camera Person] I told Cory

1142
01:08:11,218 --> 01:08:12,753
so he should bring down the shovels.

1143
01:08:12,753 --> 01:08:14,040
- How, how can you tell him that?

1144
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:15,210
- [Camera Person] I
told him before he left.

1145
01:08:15,210 --> 01:08:18,190
- We could only make it
the length that it was

1146
01:08:19,140 --> 01:08:24,140
because outside of that zone
was potential crevasses,

1147
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,850
and that was unexplored areas

1148
01:08:26,850 --> 01:08:30,243
that was marked as our death zones.

1149
01:08:40,457 --> 01:08:43,268
(scraping)

1150
01:08:43,268 --> 01:08:48,268
- [Voice Over Radio] We have
four hours before dark. Over.

1151
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:51,473
- Understood.

1152
01:09:03,638 --> 01:09:06,845
(snow squelching)

1153
01:09:06,845 --> 01:09:10,139
Yeah. Well I think you
need to drink more as well.

1154
01:09:10,139 --> 01:09:13,302
How many liters have you gone through now?

1155
01:09:13,302 --> 01:09:14,278
- [Anders] I don't know.

1156
01:09:14,278 --> 01:09:16,139
- [Anthon] You need to drink more.

1157
01:09:16,139 --> 01:09:17,360
- You don't have to worry about me.

1158
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:18,750
As long as I have food here,

1159
01:09:18,750 --> 01:09:20,220
you don't have to worry about me.

1160
01:09:20,220 --> 01:09:21,540
- Our minds were just like

1161
01:09:21,540 --> 01:09:24,092
after 10 hours in different places.

1162
01:09:24,092 --> 01:09:25,659
(conversing in foreign language)

1163
01:09:25,659 --> 01:09:27,021
- 41 maybe.

1164
01:09:27,021 --> 01:09:28,680
- 41.

1165
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:30,630
- Fuck it's still a long way to go.

1166
01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:32,610
- I know, dude. And that's
why we had to do something.

1167
01:09:32,610 --> 01:09:33,443
- Yeah, yeah. You're right.

1168
01:09:33,443 --> 01:09:35,117
- We should keep going, but.

1169
01:09:37,470 --> 01:09:40,020
- He was struggling so much.

1170
01:09:40,020 --> 01:09:40,997
There was a part of me that was like,

1171
01:09:40,997 --> 01:09:44,307
"Okay, when will he
break? When will it stop?"

1172
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:49,417
There's just a slight voice
in the back of the brain,

1173
01:09:49,417 --> 01:09:51,780
"Okay, we tried today,
condition not working,

1174
01:09:51,780 --> 01:09:55,797
let's rethink, regroup,
and then do it tomorrow."

1175
01:09:58,371 --> 01:09:59,204
- Anthon,

1176
01:10:04,450 --> 01:10:06,202
Get over here,
we have a team meeting.

1177
01:10:06,900 --> 01:10:08,940
- It's really important that
you listen to what I say now

1178
01:10:08,940 --> 01:10:11,160
and respect everything I say.

1179
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:11,993
We are now

1180
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,160
13 hours exactly into the Iceman,

1181
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,740
and we haven't been combined
as a team at one point.

1182
01:10:19,740 --> 01:10:21,870
I know a lot of things hasn't
gone according to plan,

1183
01:10:21,870 --> 01:10:24,570
but that's why it's
really freaking important

1184
01:10:24,570 --> 01:10:25,890
that it does from now.

1185
01:10:25,890 --> 01:10:27,540
I have been going for two hours longer

1186
01:10:27,540 --> 01:10:29,340
than I've ever been active

1187
01:10:29,340 --> 01:10:31,770
and I've only biked 45 kilometers.

1188
01:10:31,770 --> 01:10:35,580
That means I have 135 kilometers to go

1189
01:10:35,580 --> 01:10:36,680
and a marathon to run.

1190
01:10:37,590 --> 01:10:38,423
And

1191
01:10:40,210 --> 01:10:42,120
that's a fucking lot to do.

1192
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,510
I don't wanna see anyone
standing not doing anything.

1193
01:10:45,510 --> 01:10:47,760
If you're not doing
anything, I need you to rest.

1194
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,350
I need you to eat.

1195
01:10:49,350 --> 01:10:53,040
That is crucial because
I haven't come here

1196
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:53,940
to not finish this.

1197
01:10:53,940 --> 01:10:55,800
And I have no clue what awaits,

1198
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:58,350
I don't know what my state is in 12 hours.

1199
01:10:58,350 --> 01:10:59,670
And at that point in time,

1200
01:10:59,670 --> 01:11:04,230
you guys need to know where
my stuff is, how I get warm,

1201
01:11:04,230 --> 01:11:07,020
how I get a hot drink,
and how I keep on going

1202
01:11:07,020 --> 01:11:08,643
because I'm not gonna stop this,

1203
01:11:09,570 --> 01:11:11,910
but I might get to a point
where I can't, you know,

1204
01:11:11,910 --> 01:11:13,510
figure out what two plus two is.

1205
01:11:14,370 --> 01:11:15,783
And I don't know that.

1206
01:11:18,540 --> 01:11:20,617
- This is the only time
I've seen Anders say,

1207
01:11:20,617 --> 01:11:22,770
"Okay, I'm fucked.

1208
01:11:22,770 --> 01:11:24,570
I need you guys just to be on point

1209
01:11:24,570 --> 01:11:26,610
if this is gonna happen."

1210
01:11:26,610 --> 01:11:29,313
I think from that point on,
everybody just stepped up.

1211
01:11:30,814 --> 01:11:32,893
- [Anthon] At least I go up
to get the gear for Anders

1212
01:11:32,893 --> 01:11:33,998
and then bring it down.

1213
01:11:33,998 --> 01:11:34,831
- Yeah. Okay, cool.

1214
01:11:34,831 --> 01:11:35,700
- Bring some more gas.

1215
01:11:35,700 --> 01:11:37,650
- [Anthon] Yeah. Where's the gas?

1216
01:11:37,650 --> 01:11:38,910
- In your tents.

1217
01:11:38,910 --> 01:11:41,560
There should be a few things.
Bring bring 40 bottles.

1218
01:11:43,500 --> 01:11:44,760
- I don't want to, I don't, it's,

1219
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:46,950
I feel like I left it a little negative.

1220
01:11:46,950 --> 01:11:50,220
I don't want it, I don't
want it to sort of, you know,

1221
01:11:50,220 --> 01:11:51,600
come off negative.

1222
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,840
I really appreciate
everything you guys have done

1223
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:56,010
and I can't do this without you

1224
01:11:56,010 --> 01:11:57,180
and that's just, you know,

1225
01:11:57,180 --> 01:12:00,633
I want to bring this home
together with you guys.

1226
01:12:02,130 --> 01:12:02,963
Let's do that.

1227
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:05,370
- [Team Member] You're doing good buddy.

1228
01:12:05,370 --> 01:12:06,203
- Okay, great.

1229
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,463
- [Camera Person] Keep
cruising boy. Keep cruising.

1230
01:12:12,291 --> 01:12:14,958
(splint sparks)

1231
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,340
- Dig snow before breakfast.

1232
01:12:26,340 --> 01:12:27,810
Dig snow before lunch.

1233
01:12:27,810 --> 01:12:29,790
Dig snow before dinner,

1234
01:12:29,790 --> 01:12:31,943
and then we'll dig snow
all through the night.

1235
01:12:41,457 --> 01:12:44,276
- [Anders] Fastest 5k until now, guys.

1236
01:12:44,276 --> 01:12:45,158
- [Oli] Yeah?
- [Anders] Yeah.

1237
01:12:45,158 --> 01:12:48,470
- [Oli] Nice one. Look there dude.

1238
01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:52,620
- This I borrowed from my
neighbor just to save now.

1239
01:12:52,620 --> 01:12:55,143
Only 55. I thought it was 60. Damn.

1240
01:12:57,524 --> 01:13:00,191
(pensive music)

1241
01:13:03,450 --> 01:13:05,580
It's gonna be a long cold night.

1242
01:13:05,580 --> 01:13:07,140
I'm sure it's gonna be
longer and colder for Anders,

1243
01:13:07,140 --> 01:13:10,993
but it's still gonna suck
balls for us. (laughs)

1244
01:13:15,754 --> 01:13:18,587
(snow squelching)

1245
01:13:27,243 --> 01:13:29,743
(tense music)

1246
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:37,540
- [Anders] My hands are...

1247
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,853
Should I put on a head torch now?

1248
01:13:45,853 --> 01:13:47,653
- That's not gonna spring off right.

1249
01:13:52,177 --> 01:13:54,012
- [Anders] The night shift begins, huh?

1250
01:13:56,223 --> 01:13:57,766
Let the night begin.

1251
01:14:06,301 --> 01:14:09,801
(shovel thumping on snow)

1252
01:14:13,989 --> 01:14:15,224
- Ah.

1253
01:14:15,224 --> 01:14:17,456
- Your knee okay?

1254
01:14:17,456 --> 01:14:18,289
- I don't know.

1255
01:14:18,290 --> 01:14:20,413
- Just banged it.

1256
01:14:20,414 --> 01:14:23,917
- When I'm at 90, I would like a break.
- Okay.

1257
01:14:23,959 --> 01:14:27,087
A hot meal and change my socks.

1258
01:14:27,171 --> 01:14:30,174
- Where are you at now?
- I'm at...

1259
01:14:32,342 --> 01:14:33,552
78.

1260
01:14:34,261 --> 01:14:35,512
Okay, good.

1261
01:14:35,596 --> 01:14:38,140
- A little over an hour.
- Good. Keep going, Anders.

1262
01:14:38,551 --> 01:14:39,384
Hold on.

1263
01:14:42,660 --> 01:14:45,810
- You start raising the risks

1264
01:14:45,810 --> 01:14:48,300
when you start going through the night.

1265
01:14:48,300 --> 01:14:49,530
And the colder you get,

1266
01:14:49,530 --> 01:14:51,180
the more you start to shut down.

1267
01:14:54,900 --> 01:14:55,833
- 21 hours.

1268
01:14:56,700 --> 01:14:57,720
- Yeah.

1269
01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,420
- Right now I feel the worst
is just, I want to sleep.

1270
01:15:05,501 --> 01:15:08,462
I'm only half-way on the bike.

1271
01:15:17,429 --> 01:15:20,557
You want more?
I can get the rest for you.

1272
01:15:20,724 --> 01:15:23,769
- It's fine.
- No, let's get it for you. You need it.

1273
01:15:28,043 --> 01:15:28,876
Last bit.

1274
01:15:30,750 --> 01:15:35,750
- So after a year back,
I was struggling with,

1275
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,450
well I didn't necessarily
know it at that time,

1276
01:15:39,450 --> 01:15:41,440
but I was struggling with anxiety

1277
01:15:42,900 --> 01:15:45,723
and that were also coupled with stress.

1278
01:15:47,970 --> 01:15:48,940
And

1279
01:15:50,220 --> 01:15:53,610
then I kind of came into the living room

1280
01:15:53,610 --> 01:15:55,147
and told my brother,

1281
01:15:55,147 --> 01:15:58,833
"Hey, I, you know, I'm,

1282
01:15:59,790 --> 01:16:00,990
I'm not good.

1283
01:16:00,990 --> 01:16:02,157
I'm not feeling well."

1284
01:16:03,510 --> 01:16:06,507
And, you know, "Here's the situation."

1285
01:16:08,190 --> 01:16:12,720
And then again, it was
kind of this conversation

1286
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,447
with my brother that made me realize,

1287
01:16:16,447 --> 01:16:20,643
"Wow, I, you know, this is,

1288
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,093
first of all, this is okay.

1289
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,477
And second of all, who's your priority?"

1290
01:16:32,190 --> 01:16:34,623
You know, ask me that question.

1291
01:16:37,500 --> 01:16:41,820
And you know, the reason
why that makes me emotional

1292
01:16:41,820 --> 01:16:42,653
was that,

1293
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,062
(somber music)

1294
01:16:54,591 --> 01:16:57,330
(shakily) you know, I
think, I think first of all,

1295
01:16:57,330 --> 01:16:58,743
he knows me really well.

1296
01:17:07,650 --> 01:17:09,570
So we knew at that point I just, you know,

1297
01:17:09,570 --> 01:17:13,560
I'd stretched myself, I
stretched myself, you know,

1298
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,033
too far from my core,

1299
01:17:19,740 --> 01:17:24,740
and you know, he kind of let
me know that with tough love.

1300
01:17:27,630 --> 01:17:30,780
But the reason why, you know,
I'm emotional now is that,

1301
01:17:30,780 --> 01:17:35,253
you know, he, you know,
he really cares for me.

1302
01:17:37,530 --> 01:17:38,363
Good job man.

1303
01:17:43,571 --> 01:17:44,404
How you feeling? You warm?

1304
01:17:45,561 --> 01:17:46,590
- Yeah.

1305
01:17:46,590 --> 01:17:48,867
- How is this holding up? Is it working?

1306
01:17:48,867 --> 01:17:53,520
- Mm.

1307
01:17:53,627 --> 01:17:56,004
We're brewing coffee to you right now.

1308
01:17:58,686 --> 01:17:59,603
Have a sip.

1309
01:18:01,426 --> 01:18:03,804
I'm just looking forward to
the sun comes again.

1310
01:18:03,887 --> 01:18:04,720
- Yes.

1311
01:18:37,155 --> 01:18:39,738
(wind blowing)

1312
01:18:53,186 --> 01:18:56,440
- How are you doing, man?
- I'm broken.

1313
01:18:56,898 --> 01:18:59,776
You will be. That's the point of this.
Keep it up, man.

1314
01:19:06,510 --> 01:19:08,733
He's suffering. He's suffering hard.

1315
01:19:14,910 --> 01:19:18,030
- Anders was cycling 200 meters,

1316
01:19:18,030 --> 01:19:22,290
and back 200 meters for 20 hours.

1317
01:19:22,290 --> 01:19:24,453
And how he persevered, I don't know.

1318
01:19:26,164 --> 01:19:29,331
(strong wind blowing)

1319
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,760
- In my ultimate low I had
that conversation with myself.

1320
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:52,010
What if I didn't make it?

1321
01:19:53,126 --> 01:19:55,793
(pensive music)

1322
01:19:58,034 --> 01:20:00,900
I was gonna tell my
brother that I couldn't,

1323
01:20:00,900 --> 01:20:01,733
I can't do this.

1324
01:20:04,440 --> 01:20:07,107
(pensive music)

1325
01:20:23,370 --> 01:20:26,403
That was where I reminded
myself of why I'm doing this.

1326
01:20:28,410 --> 01:20:31,650
I wanted to show that
limitations are perceptions.

1327
01:20:31,650 --> 01:20:33,720
I just don't think that I really realized

1328
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,430
that I had to break my own perceptions

1329
01:20:35,430 --> 01:20:36,753
of where my limit was.

1330
01:20:38,875 --> 01:20:41,378
I'm broken,
but I can't give up now.

1331
01:20:42,128 --> 01:20:44,005
Well, it's fair to take a break.

1332
01:20:46,550 --> 01:20:49,678
It'll probably be quite nice
to change scenary for your head.

1333
01:20:50,136 --> 01:20:52,931
It's firm enough for you
to ride up there, definitely.

1334
01:20:54,140 --> 01:20:57,018
Should we go up?
Cool, let's go up.

1335
01:21:00,540 --> 01:21:02,940
- We got our stuff together.

1336
01:21:02,940 --> 01:21:06,393
We changed the tactics
we could see another day,

1337
01:21:07,380 --> 01:21:10,893
and then we went to the upper track.

1338
01:21:15,930 --> 01:21:18,210
And I remember this was not filmed.

1339
01:21:18,210 --> 01:21:20,250
We were like giving each other high fives,

1340
01:21:20,250 --> 01:21:23,910
and you know, shouting, because
the track was good up there.

1341
01:21:23,910 --> 01:21:27,758
So suddenly you're know,
whoa, we can do this.

1342
01:21:27,759 --> 01:21:28,924
- We're gonna get there.

1343
01:21:28,925 --> 01:21:32,429
I was on a low down there,
but I'm going to be on a high up here.

1344
01:21:35,797 --> 01:21:38,630
(snow squelching)

1345
01:21:40,306 --> 01:21:44,400
- And then, you know, before we know it,

1346
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,373
the wind picked up quite significantly.

1347
01:21:47,373 --> 01:21:50,123
(wind whistling)

1348
01:22:02,959 --> 01:22:06,379
He's had cold feet for almost
two days by now.

1349
01:22:07,213 --> 01:22:08,423
It's not getting better.

1350
01:22:08,506 --> 01:22:13,053
This weather is going to continue
until tomorrow afternoon, apparently.

1351
01:22:14,877 --> 01:22:18,127
(strong winds blowing)

1352
01:22:21,655 --> 01:22:24,405
(wind whistling)

1353
01:22:33,712 --> 01:22:36,462
(wind whistling)

1354
01:22:39,245 --> 01:22:41,206
I can't believe I did that as well.

1355
01:22:42,874 --> 01:22:44,793
First the swim, then the bike.

1356
01:22:46,127 --> 01:22:50,340
Now I really can't believe that I have
a marathon to run in this weather.

1357
01:22:50,742 --> 01:22:51,575
Ah.

1358
01:22:54,071 --> 01:22:57,121
(Anders exhales)

1359
01:23:00,058 --> 01:23:03,353
- What are you saying?
- It's impossible to get through here.

1360
01:23:07,065 --> 01:23:11,943
- 35 Hours and 30 minutes
total time so far.

1361
01:23:14,282 --> 01:23:16,320
(chuckles)

1362
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:17,153
Oh.

1363
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:26,133
- [Team Member] If you
snack well, and then...

1364
01:23:28,044 --> 01:23:30,255
My right knee is so fucked.

1365
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,550
(Anders exhales)

1366
01:23:37,876 --> 01:23:39,813
(Anders exhales)

1367
01:23:39,813 --> 01:23:41,370
I've been having troubles with the knee

1368
01:23:41,370 --> 01:23:45,510
for now a month and a half.

1369
01:23:45,510 --> 01:23:47,700
And there's only one
month until we take off.

1370
01:23:47,700 --> 01:23:52,569
So that, I mean, I have to
do everything to fix it.

1371
01:23:52,569 --> 01:23:55,260
(physical trainer speaking
in foreign language)

1372
01:23:55,260 --> 01:23:58,593
- In November and December,
those were tough months.

1373
01:24:02,580 --> 01:24:04,120
So I think my parents saw that

1374
01:24:06,990 --> 01:24:08,347
and then they saw that as, you know, am I,

1375
01:24:08,347 --> 01:24:10,530
you know, am I taking care of myself?

1376
01:24:10,530 --> 01:24:12,663
Am I healthy through this process?

1377
01:24:15,060 --> 01:24:16,470
You know, I just clearly remember

1378
01:24:16,470 --> 01:24:18,170
that conversation in my apartment.

1379
01:24:19,740 --> 01:24:22,390
Why does it have to be now?
I could just postpone it.

1380
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,970
Yeah, I think I would
see like 2% on, you know,

1381
01:24:26,970 --> 01:24:28,773
just breaking completely.

1382
01:24:30,463 --> 01:24:35,130
(family conversing in foreign language)

1383
01:24:36,990 --> 01:24:39,693
- So New Year's Eve,

1384
01:24:42,150 --> 01:24:42,983
home.

1385
01:24:44,250 --> 01:24:47,530
I can't remember since
I had a long bike ride

1386
01:24:49,770 --> 01:24:53,460
because of the troubles with my knee,

1387
01:24:53,460 --> 01:24:55,323
you know, having a night like this,

1388
01:24:57,270 --> 01:24:58,570
we really just

1389
01:25:00,792 --> 01:25:01,650
(exhales deeply)

1390
01:25:01,650 --> 01:25:03,660
wanna relax,

1391
01:25:03,660 --> 01:25:04,493
party

1392
01:25:06,420 --> 01:25:07,743
like everyone else.

1393
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:13,323
(conversing in foreign language)

1394
01:25:15,614 --> 01:25:17,297
(speaking in foreign language)

1395
01:25:17,297 --> 01:25:19,013
- I could feel the amount of pressure,

1396
01:25:22,110 --> 01:25:26,703
the amount of risk that
my brother had taken.

1397
01:25:29,730 --> 01:25:32,020
Some frustration that I experienced

1398
01:25:33,030 --> 01:25:37,443
was this somewhat fear of the unknown.

1399
01:25:42,971 --> 01:25:44,931
It'll be fine.

1400
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,271
- I love you.
- Love you too.

1401
01:25:58,020 --> 01:26:02,370
- And I was worried for his knee.

1402
01:26:02,370 --> 01:26:06,123
Two, three months before,
I'm not seeing him move.

1403
01:26:06,995 --> 01:26:08,553
And that worries me.

1404
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,420
I was worried that we would get there,

1405
01:26:12,420 --> 01:26:15,153
and he would not be able to run.

1406
01:26:16,262 --> 01:26:19,512
(strong winds blowing)

1407
01:26:33,270 --> 01:26:37,270
(strong winds continue blowing)

1408
01:26:38,910 --> 01:26:42,570
- [Anders] We were 36 and a
half hours into the Iceman,

1409
01:26:42,570 --> 01:26:45,213
which meant we had passed
the weather window.

1410
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:48,300
The team knew that.

1411
01:26:48,300 --> 01:26:51,690
But I wasn't really
focused on that at all.

1412
01:26:51,690 --> 01:26:53,643
In my mind, I just wanted to finish it.

1413
01:26:59,134 --> 01:27:02,384
(strong winds blowing)

1414
01:27:08,223 --> 01:27:11,184
- How many kilometers?
- 7.5.

1415
01:27:18,028 --> 01:27:21,278
(strong winds blowing)

1416
01:27:34,434 --> 01:27:38,434
(strong winds continue blowing)

1417
01:27:45,480 --> 01:27:48,243
I kind of lost track of time.

1418
01:27:50,850 --> 01:27:55,830
I forgot to have some patience
and to take care of myself.

1419
01:27:55,830 --> 01:27:58,390
I found myself making bad decisions

1420
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,523
and I had to tell him I need to sleep.

1421
01:28:05,670 --> 01:28:07,177
And in my mind I was just like,

1422
01:28:07,177 --> 01:28:09,147
"You're fucking not leaving me, now."

1423
01:28:11,490 --> 01:28:13,860
If Anthon tells me I need a break,

1424
01:28:13,860 --> 01:28:15,573
then Anthon really needs a break.

1425
01:28:20,512 --> 01:28:23,179
(pensive music)

1426
01:28:43,545 --> 01:28:45,450
Being in that state, being tired yourself,

1427
01:28:45,450 --> 01:28:47,253
we had to go back to our tent.

1428
01:28:48,510 --> 01:28:50,403
This is 500 meters away.

1429
01:28:52,050 --> 01:28:56,010
This was dark heavy winds.
You couldn't see anything.

1430
01:28:56,010 --> 01:28:58,233
We had to rely on our GPS.

1431
01:29:01,530 --> 01:29:03,277
I had this realization where I was like,

1432
01:29:03,277 --> 01:29:04,977
"This is too dangerous to be out."

1433
01:29:06,966 --> 01:29:09,549
(wind howling)

1434
01:29:13,773 --> 01:29:15,930
(strong gusty wind blowing)

1435
01:29:15,930 --> 01:29:18,120
We decided that I was just gonna walk,

1436
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:21,070
and everybody else would go
back to their tents for safety.

1437
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,653
And so I walked with Oli
for seven kilometers.

1438
01:29:27,210 --> 01:29:28,410
It was pitch dark.

1439
01:29:28,410 --> 01:29:31,653
You couldn't see two
meters ahead of yourself.

1440
01:29:33,420 --> 01:29:35,262
I was getting dizzy.

1441
01:29:35,262 --> 01:29:37,112
It was difficult for me just to walk.

1442
01:29:39,690 --> 01:29:40,523
We quickly went through

1443
01:29:40,523 --> 01:29:43,383
the pros and cons of
continuing at the point,

1444
01:29:44,430 --> 01:29:45,600
it wasn't a race anymore.

1445
01:29:45,600 --> 01:29:48,276
It was basically just survival.

1446
01:29:48,276 --> 01:29:51,359
(gusty wind blowing)

1447
01:29:56,975 --> 01:29:57,808
- [Cory] Anders.
- Yeah.

1448
01:29:57,808 --> 01:29:59,880
- [Cory] Can you give us an update?

1449
01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:01,080
- We have this blizzard,

1450
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:04,920
and I will start walking with Oli,

1451
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:08,193
and we decided to,

1452
01:30:10,140 --> 01:30:14,463
postpone it three hours until
everybody is more rested.

1453
01:30:16,260 --> 01:30:18,247
'Cause right now, time is not,

1454
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:20,875
time doesn't matter anymore now,

1455
01:30:20,875 --> 01:30:25,042
just now it's just important
for me to finish this

1456
01:30:27,996 --> 01:30:29,464
and yeah, we would just be risking it,

1457
01:30:29,464 --> 01:30:32,883
if we kept on going just two of us.

1458
01:30:36,617 --> 01:30:38,670
- Anthon, Anthon, this is Cory.

1459
01:30:38,670 --> 01:30:39,573
Do you copy?

1460
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,855
It's not good that they have radio
silence. I don't understand that.

1461
01:30:45,148 --> 01:30:46,816
They should be...

1462
01:30:49,444 --> 01:30:51,404
- ahead of things.
- Yeah.

1463
01:30:53,656 --> 01:30:56,576
It's been a long time
since we heard from them.

1464
01:30:56,577 --> 01:30:59,200
(wind whistling)

1465
01:31:02,206 --> 01:31:05,835
- It could be because...
- They could've run out of batteries.

1466
01:31:06,002 --> 01:31:08,963
Yeah, or their tent
could be covered in snow.

1467
01:31:11,490 --> 01:31:14,193
- [Cory] Yeah. I don't think
we're getting a hold of them.

1468
01:31:14,193 --> 01:31:15,662
(wind blowing)

1469
01:31:15,662 --> 01:31:18,960
(shovel thumping)

1470
01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:21,870
- [Team Member] I remember
waking up at one point

1471
01:31:21,870 --> 01:31:24,420
being completely like fixated

1472
01:31:24,420 --> 01:31:27,423
by the weight of snow on top of the tent.

1473
01:31:29,824 --> 01:31:32,220
(shovel continues thumping)

1474
01:31:32,220 --> 01:31:35,343
So Cory had to dig the snow from the tent.

1475
01:31:37,530 --> 01:31:40,740
You just hear the shovel
and in the meantime,

1476
01:31:40,740 --> 01:31:45,360
you know that if he hits like the tent,

1477
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:46,443
just scratches it,

1478
01:31:47,730 --> 01:31:48,753
it's game over.

1479
01:31:53,182 --> 01:31:56,010
(snow squelching)

1480
01:31:56,010 --> 01:31:59,260
(strong winds blowing)

1481
01:32:11,192 --> 01:32:12,527
Where's Herman?

1482
01:32:16,650 --> 01:32:18,090
- I think it was day two,

1483
01:32:18,090 --> 01:32:20,130
around eight o'clock in the evening,

1484
01:32:20,130 --> 01:32:21,537
Greg and I got back to the boat,

1485
01:32:21,537 --> 01:32:23,430
and I started dumping all the footage

1486
01:32:23,430 --> 01:32:25,830
before I need to go off
to reach you guys again.

1487
01:32:27,330 --> 01:32:29,680
I tried calling Phil and I got no answers

1488
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,837
and then suddenly I just
hear like scratches.

1489
01:32:33,837 --> 01:32:34,887
(imitates radio noises)

1490
01:32:34,887 --> 01:32:37,473
Like no solo travels, not safe.

1491
01:32:38,880 --> 01:32:40,230
And to give a little context,

1492
01:32:40,230 --> 01:32:42,660
we had the boat anchored up in a bay

1493
01:32:42,660 --> 01:32:46,080
where we had six safety
ropes to all angles

1494
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,063
holding the boat in one place.

1495
01:32:50,898 --> 01:32:52,733
- Holy fuck!
- What?

1496
01:32:53,985 --> 01:32:56,946
- The white line is nearly about to snap.
- Oh no.

1497
01:32:57,863 --> 01:32:58,781
What do we do?

1498
01:32:58,887 --> 01:33:01,323
- And then one of the rope snaps.

1499
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,210
It was just panic on board.

1500
01:33:06,210 --> 01:33:08,250
Greg's tried to scramble some ropes

1501
01:33:08,250 --> 01:33:10,470
and see how can we solve this problem.

1502
01:33:10,470 --> 01:33:13,290
And while he's outside in winds

1503
01:33:13,290 --> 01:33:15,190
way over a hundred kilometers an hour,

1504
01:33:16,140 --> 01:33:17,166
this rope snaps.

1505
01:33:17,166 --> 01:33:19,170
(loud bang)

1506
01:33:19,170 --> 01:33:21,750
I could see the fear in
both Cath and Greg's eyes

1507
01:33:21,750 --> 01:33:23,733
because now it's serious trouble.

1508
01:33:25,890 --> 01:33:27,915
And then another rope snaps.

1509
01:33:27,915 --> 01:33:29,340
(loud bang)

1510
01:33:29,340 --> 01:33:32,493
Cath picks up the radio
and calls in mayday.

1511
01:33:34,050 --> 01:33:37,263
Like mayday is the last, last thing.

1512
01:33:38,790 --> 01:33:41,400
We're slamming against the rocks.

1513
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,900
And then Cath tells me,
with the straightest face,

1514
01:33:44,887 --> 01:33:46,833
"Herman, stop filming.

1515
01:33:49,050 --> 01:33:51,270
I need you to jump on land.

1516
01:33:51,270 --> 01:33:54,540
We need this rope that we
have used to block the ice.

1517
01:33:54,540 --> 01:33:57,057
I need you to go up on
land and toss it to me."

1518
01:33:59,370 --> 01:34:00,273
I tell Cath,

1519
01:34:02,107 --> 01:34:04,587
"I'm not sure I can do
that, handle that task."

1520
01:34:05,580 --> 01:34:09,810
We get a small glimpse
of a bit slower wind.

1521
01:34:09,810 --> 01:34:12,627
At that point I was like,
"Fuck it, I need to try."

1522
01:34:13,590 --> 01:34:17,640
So I jump in the Zodiac,
pull myself across.

1523
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:21,003
I just basically had to jump
from the Zodiac onto land.

1524
01:34:22,620 --> 01:34:25,680
So I was soaked. I started
crawling along the land,

1525
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,490
because of the wind, there was
no chance to be able to walk.

1526
01:34:29,490 --> 01:34:32,343
And I start untying this
rope and it's so tight.

1527
01:34:33,390 --> 01:34:34,920
While I was reaching the rope,

1528
01:34:34,920 --> 01:34:36,753
my hat and my mittens blew off.

1529
01:34:37,740 --> 01:34:40,650
Finally, I kind of thought
just slowly with one hand

1530
01:34:40,650 --> 01:34:43,350
loosening the rope, and then pause it

1531
01:34:43,350 --> 01:34:44,760
while laying on the ground,

1532
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:47,190
and I start crawling back to a big rock

1533
01:34:47,190 --> 01:34:48,483
where I could shelter.

1534
01:34:49,890 --> 01:34:52,410
I was so scared. And
this was the first point

1535
01:34:52,410 --> 01:34:54,633
where I actually feared for my life.

1536
01:34:57,150 --> 01:35:00,693
And I lay there for what
felt like an eternity.

1537
01:35:04,928 --> 01:35:07,511
(wind howling)

1538
01:35:14,731 --> 01:35:17,981
(strong winds blowing)

1539
01:35:38,130 --> 01:35:41,160
- I don't know how I made
it through that bike ride.

1540
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:42,930
I've never been so broken in my life,

1541
01:35:42,930 --> 01:35:45,667
both physically and mentally.

1542
01:35:48,179 --> 01:35:51,679
(wind flaps tent noisily)

1543
01:35:55,205 --> 01:36:00,205
Anthon, do you copy?

1544
01:36:08,311 --> 01:36:11,104
Anthon, Anthon, this is Anders.

1545
01:36:11,104 --> 01:36:12,104
Do you copy?

1546
01:36:14,466 --> 01:36:17,640
(tense music)

1547
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,807
(strong wind blowing)

1548
01:36:26,297 --> 01:36:28,350
- Anthon, Anthon. This is Cory.

1549
01:36:28,350 --> 01:36:29,183
Do you copy?

1550
01:36:34,110 --> 01:36:35,283
We ran out of food,

1551
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,890
and we had a ice cave
that we built early on

1552
01:36:40,890 --> 01:36:44,280
as a surplus for us if
we ever needed to go,

1553
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:45,963
and gather more food.

1554
01:36:49,580 --> 01:36:52,830
(strong winds blowing)

1555
01:37:12,130 --> 01:37:14,580
I remember just looking around
and then looking back at you

1556
01:37:14,580 --> 01:37:16,950
and being like, is this where it is?

1557
01:37:16,950 --> 01:37:17,783
Is this it?

1558
01:37:35,610 --> 01:37:38,973
I realized that there was no
way that we're gonna get it.

1559
01:37:55,620 --> 01:37:58,453
- I do have something I wanna say.

1560
01:38:00,330 --> 01:38:03,420
There was a moment with Anders and I

1561
01:38:03,420 --> 01:38:06,693
that I will never forget.

1562
01:38:09,090 --> 01:38:10,440
As an independent artist,

1563
01:38:10,440 --> 01:38:12,390
I was going through a really hard time,

1564
01:38:14,130 --> 01:38:16,500
and (chuckles softly)

1565
01:38:16,500 --> 01:38:20,310
I was coming home for Christmas.

1566
01:38:20,310 --> 01:38:22,350
It was a very dark time for me,

1567
01:38:22,350 --> 01:38:27,350
and a lot of thoughts about
giving up or is it all worth it?

1568
01:38:29,490 --> 01:38:31,770
And I hadn't really said much that,

1569
01:38:31,770 --> 01:38:35,190
that those days up until Christmas Eve.

1570
01:38:35,190 --> 01:38:37,980
But someone asked me like, "How are you?"

1571
01:38:37,980 --> 01:38:41,250
And then we started talking
and then in our family

1572
01:38:41,250 --> 01:38:42,817
it's instantly like,

1573
01:38:42,817 --> 01:38:46,140
"This is what you should
do. This is the plan.

1574
01:38:46,140 --> 01:38:48,573
We can work this out.
And we'll..." you know,

1575
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:52,560
or Anthon will always
have the good questions

1576
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:54,120
and like, "But you don't need this.

1577
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:55,029
Why do you need this?"

1578
01:38:55,029 --> 01:38:58,560
And I keep thinking like,

1579
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:00,710
you know, I have to
have the good argument.

1580
01:39:01,860 --> 01:39:05,523
I have to defend myself in my case.

1581
01:39:06,690 --> 01:39:10,740
And as I was doing that, I
just totally like lost it.

1582
01:39:10,740 --> 01:39:15,180
I started like, I got a
panic attack basically.

1583
01:39:15,180 --> 01:39:16,413
And I remember,

1584
01:39:17,250 --> 01:39:20,250
I just remember being on
my couch and like had,

1585
01:39:20,250 --> 01:39:22,470
I remember thinking like,
"You're about to pass out."

1586
01:39:22,470 --> 01:39:25,380
So I like, I put my head between my legs,

1587
01:39:25,380 --> 01:39:28,320
and I remember like the
whole room just froze

1588
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:30,750
and no one knew like what to do.

1589
01:39:30,750 --> 01:39:35,750
And Anders just like runs
over and grabs my shoulders

1590
01:39:35,940 --> 01:39:38,487
and just shakes me and be like,

1591
01:39:38,487 --> 01:39:42,630
and he starts crying and like just,

1592
01:39:42,630 --> 01:39:44,670
I've never seen Anders like that.

1593
01:39:44,670 --> 01:39:48,873
I just felt like he just
understood. (sniffles)

1594
01:39:50,010 --> 01:39:51,273
He just understood.

1595
01:39:57,090 --> 01:40:00,780
He keeps telling me that what
I'm doing is so much harder,

1596
01:40:00,780 --> 01:40:04,950
because to him what he's
doing is he's the only one.

1597
01:40:04,950 --> 01:40:08,010
But what I'm doing is like,
there's millions of us.

1598
01:40:08,010 --> 01:40:11,580
So for me to stand out and do my thing

1599
01:40:11,580 --> 01:40:15,483
is a completely different
Iceman as he says.

1600
01:40:23,335 --> 01:40:25,835
(radio beeps)

1601
01:40:34,050 --> 01:40:36,677
- [Anthon] Cory, Cory, Anthon, Anthon.

1602
01:40:43,287 --> 01:40:45,706
Anthon, Anthon, this is Cory.

1603
01:40:48,270 --> 01:40:50,373
- [Anthon] How is Anders doing?

1604
01:40:59,970 --> 01:41:01,472
He's all right.

1605
01:41:03,891 --> 01:41:07,019
- [Anders] What luxury do
you guys have over there?

1606
01:41:08,700 --> 01:41:10,263
- How are you guys doing?

1607
01:41:12,691 --> 01:41:15,778
We're good. We've all peed
in the same water bottle

1608
01:41:15,903 --> 01:41:19,948
and now Jan is cooking
some porridge for us for dinner.

1609
01:41:21,570 --> 01:41:23,310
- Sounds like brotherhood.

1610
01:41:23,310 --> 01:41:26,313
Happy to hear that.
(radio beeps)

1611
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:32,280
- The storm was gone,

1612
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:34,480
and then suddenly nobody
was doing anything.

1613
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:37,743
And then I felt we cannot wait anymore.

1614
01:41:40,594 --> 01:41:43,013
The time is 2:32.

1615
01:41:43,931 --> 01:41:46,642
We've been here for about...

1616
01:41:47,935 --> 01:41:50,145
... 27, 28 hours.

1617
01:41:52,231 --> 01:41:57,152
But we made it. The weather is calm.
We can trust the weather now.

1618
01:41:57,796 --> 01:42:01,320
(radio crackling)

1619
01:42:01,320 --> 01:42:03,297
I just told Anders,

1620
01:42:03,297 --> 01:42:05,610
"15 minutes, you're gonna meet out here

1621
01:42:05,610 --> 01:42:07,310
and then we're gonna finish this."

1622
01:42:10,740 --> 01:42:14,130
I think he was caught up in
the struggle at that moment

1623
01:42:14,130 --> 01:42:15,423
running on a glacier.

1624
01:42:16,457 --> 01:42:21,457
And I realized that you don't
see what we see right now.

1625
01:42:24,300 --> 01:42:28,300
And what we are seeing is that
you have 10 kilometers left

1626
01:42:29,580 --> 01:42:32,763
on something people
thought was impossible,

1627
01:42:35,790 --> 01:42:38,223
and you need to realize
that yourself as well.

1628
01:42:39,528 --> 01:42:41,989
You show that
it's fucking possible!

1629
01:42:42,114 --> 01:42:44,992
You show that you
live out your message!

1630
01:42:45,284 --> 01:42:48,203
You show that you are
what you fucking say!

1631
01:42:49,413 --> 01:42:50,664
You're doing it, Anders!

1632
01:42:50,914 --> 01:42:52,291
You're fucking doing it!

1633
01:42:52,820 --> 01:42:55,653
(snow squelching)

1634
01:43:00,299 --> 01:43:03,886
That's it! That was already 1 km.
That was 1 km!

1635
01:43:09,510 --> 01:43:10,823
- [Team Member] He needed that.

1636
01:43:12,930 --> 01:43:16,810
- In that moment, I had
this feeling of just

1637
01:43:18,960 --> 01:43:20,253
finding my purpose there.

1638
01:43:21,282 --> 01:43:24,115
(snow squelching)

1639
01:43:26,100 --> 01:43:27,660
- Something in me just says

1640
01:43:27,660 --> 01:43:32,280
that Anders shut down for these years

1641
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,613
probably to figure out when
am I gonna press that button.

1642
01:43:38,670 --> 01:43:41,313
And that happened in Antarctica.

1643
01:43:42,341 --> 01:43:46,887
It started as a calm morning
and it ends with a calm morning.

1644
01:43:47,539 --> 01:43:50,372
(snow squelching)

1645
01:43:51,294 --> 01:43:54,461
(calm ethereal music)

1646
01:44:20,035 --> 01:44:22,702
(team cheering)

1647
01:44:28,918 --> 01:44:33,335
(Anders and Anthon sniffling softly)

1648
01:44:34,434 --> 01:44:38,188
I want to be the first person...
I will be the first person

1649
01:44:38,355 --> 01:44:40,774
doing an Iceman in Antarctica.

1650
01:44:40,775 --> 01:44:42,479
- [Camera Person] 30 Seconds, 30 seconds.

1651
01:44:42,480 --> 01:44:44,910
Come on, come on.

1652
01:44:44,910 --> 01:44:48,100
- I just have to remember that
I can do so much fucking more

1653
01:44:49,276 --> 01:44:51,826
than I think I can, that
I allow myself to believe.

1654
01:44:56,730 --> 01:45:00,810
- This was just as much
a project to test himself

1655
01:45:00,810 --> 01:45:04,060
of how much he could believe in himself

1656
01:45:05,100 --> 01:45:07,200
when nobody else did.

1657
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:11,316
He now know that that
voice comes from a truth.

1658
01:45:11,316 --> 01:45:14,483
(gentle upbeat music)

1659
01:45:20,647 --> 01:45:25,610
72 hours and
54 minutes.

1660
01:45:26,110 --> 01:45:28,693
(Anders sighs)

1661
01:45:29,850 --> 01:45:32,903
We fucking did it.
(team applauds)

1662
01:45:34,060 --> 01:45:37,517
(team cheers and whoops)

1663
01:45:37,517 --> 01:45:38,874
- Good morning to you.

1664
01:45:38,874 --> 01:45:41,135
(Anders whoops)

1665
01:45:41,135 --> 01:45:42,052
- Let's go!

1666
01:45:43,804 --> 01:45:46,471
(Anders whoops)

1667
01:45:47,597 --> 01:45:50,070
- Anders is giving people a gift.

1668
01:45:50,070 --> 01:45:52,470
He's giving people the gift of hope,

1669
01:45:52,470 --> 01:45:55,680
and his willingness to
suffer intentionally

1670
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:57,120
gives people hope on their journey

1671
01:45:57,120 --> 01:45:59,610
where they're not suffering intentionally.

1672
01:45:59,610 --> 01:46:01,910
That's the greatest gift
you can give anybody.

1673
01:46:05,484 --> 01:46:06,485
Well done, Anders.

1674
01:46:07,152 --> 01:46:08,320
A new beginning.

1675
01:46:09,614 --> 01:46:11,447
(Anthon sighs)

1676
01:46:11,448 --> 01:46:13,367
You've finished
what you started.

1677
01:46:14,701 --> 01:46:17,371
- I'm proud of you.
- I'm proud of you too.

1678
01:46:19,331 --> 01:46:21,917
- I love you.
- Love you too, bro.

1679
01:46:25,509 --> 01:46:28,759
(calm uplifting music)

1680
01:46:37,997 --> 01:46:40,563
- We get contact with base,

1681
01:46:41,820 --> 01:46:46,320
they're telling us to stay
calm and they will get people

1682
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:47,373
and come help us.

1683
01:46:48,510 --> 01:46:49,477
The marine guys were like,

1684
01:46:49,477 --> 01:46:52,050
"Okay, this is not safe for you anymore.

1685
01:46:52,050 --> 01:46:54,840
All of you guys need to
come back to the base."

1686
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,780
We wait there while
the divers do their job

1687
01:46:57,780 --> 01:46:59,730
and attach on new ropes

1688
01:46:59,730 --> 01:47:01,800
and try to pull the boat slowly back.

1689
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:05,610
Greg ended up being swam back
to the boat with the divers

1690
01:47:05,610 --> 01:47:08,880
because our skipper Cath, she
refused to leave the boat,

1691
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:13,880
which was eventually
pretty heroic thing to do.

1692
01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:17,130
I get back to the base and I
was just sitting there alone.

1693
01:47:17,130 --> 01:47:19,200
I was so in shock still, I think.

1694
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:23,387
So I just ate, got a room
and I just laid down.

1695
01:47:23,387 --> 01:47:26,760
It was the first time in over 48 hours

1696
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:28,210
where I could actually sleep.

1697
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:31,187
So I wake up unnaturally
early in the morning,

1698
01:47:31,187 --> 01:47:35,190
like 6:00 or something,
and as I walk out the door,

1699
01:47:35,190 --> 01:47:38,040
I turn around the corner
and I just see Anders

1700
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:41,550
suddenly I just hit me.
I was like, "Oh, fuck."

1701
01:47:41,550 --> 01:47:43,020
Because then I realized also

1702
01:47:43,020 --> 01:47:45,690
you guys have been on the glacier

1703
01:47:45,690 --> 01:47:48,290
when this whole thing has
happened down by the boat.

1704
01:47:49,838 --> 01:47:52,320
And you guys probably needed
to be rescued as well,

1705
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:54,270
was my first initial thought.

1706
01:47:54,270 --> 01:47:57,510
So I was just, "Oh fuck,
you guys got rescued"

1707
01:47:57,510 --> 01:47:59,850
I mean, does that mean the
whole race was just canceled

1708
01:47:59,850 --> 01:48:00,683
and stuff?

1709
01:48:00,683 --> 01:48:02,887
And I was asked, I just
asked Anders plain,

1710
01:48:02,887 --> 01:48:04,873
"What happened, dude? Are you okay?"

1711
01:48:04,873 --> 01:48:06,921
And he was like, "Yeah, I
just finished the race."

1712
01:48:06,921 --> 01:48:07,754
(everyone chuckles)

1713
01:48:07,754 --> 01:48:08,587
And I was like,

1714
01:48:08,587 --> 01:48:11,047
"The fuck you mean you
just finished the race?"

1715
01:48:11,047 --> 01:48:12,690
And I was so confused,

1716
01:48:12,690 --> 01:48:14,670
but at the same time I was so relieved

1717
01:48:14,670 --> 01:48:16,627
that kinda he was safe and he was like,

1718
01:48:16,627 --> 01:48:19,890
"Yeah, the rest of the guys
are kind of in the food area."

1719
01:48:19,890 --> 01:48:22,170
And I walked out and saw the whole gang

1720
01:48:22,170 --> 01:48:24,420
sitting in the dinner area,

1721
01:48:24,420 --> 01:48:27,120
and it was just the most surreal moment.

1722
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:29,010
Everyone was just safe.

1723
01:48:29,010 --> 01:48:30,393
Everyone's smiling.

1724
01:48:31,410 --> 01:48:35,130
I you got something which ended up

1725
01:48:35,130 --> 01:48:38,340
with my bag coming home
from the expedition.

1726
01:48:38,340 --> 01:48:42,180
And that is the tag from
the Chilean base you got

1727
01:48:42,180 --> 01:48:44,172
when you finished the race.

1728
01:48:44,172 --> 01:48:45,005
- Huh!

1729
01:48:45,005 --> 01:48:46,710
And it's been two years
now, I've had this.

1730
01:48:46,710 --> 01:48:48,510
I haven't said anything to you,

1731
01:48:48,510 --> 01:48:52,670
but I've always had this to bring you

1732
01:48:52,670 --> 01:48:54,743
so we finally meet again,

1733
01:48:54,743 --> 01:48:56,737
and this belongs to you.

1734
01:49:00,163 --> 01:49:00,996
- Crazy.

1735
01:49:05,555 --> 01:49:07,014
- Yeah.

1736
01:49:07,014 --> 01:49:09,857
(Anders exhales)

1737
01:49:09,857 --> 01:49:13,774
(speaking in foreign language)

1738
01:49:17,077 --> 01:49:20,220
- You know, it all came
from it being ironic

1739
01:49:20,220 --> 01:49:23,280
that, you know, during
the Iceman and you know,

1740
01:49:23,280 --> 01:49:25,770
going out and doing
speaks at primary schools

1741
01:49:25,770 --> 01:49:27,240
and to young kids,

1742
01:49:27,240 --> 01:49:30,640
I'm telling them to pursue
their own Iceman in life

1743
01:49:31,770 --> 01:49:36,150
when the fact is I've not
pursued my own Iceman in life.

1744
01:49:36,150 --> 01:49:37,073
- [Interviewer] Here you go.

1745
01:49:39,750 --> 01:49:40,920
- Yeah.

1746
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:41,883
So project 30.

1747
01:49:44,964 --> 01:49:48,240
- [Interviewer] What's project 30?

1748
01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:52,710
- Project 30 is pursuing
my childhood dream

1749
01:49:52,710 --> 01:49:54,810
of becoming a professional
football player.

1750
01:49:54,810 --> 01:49:56,280
- [Interviewer] And what's 30?

1751
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,967
- 30 is the age I'm
restarting my football career.

1752
