Akshay Nanavati, a 40-year-old Indian American, embarked on the adventure of a lifetime -a 110-day skiing expedition across Antarctica. If he succeeds, Nanavati will become the first human to complete an unsupported, solo, 2,700-km, coast-to-coast, ski crossing of the coldest, driest, windiest and loneliest continent on the planet.
