Running in Antarctica

Posted on December 17, 2012 by David Cross

Yes, it can be done. We have had some amazing weather on this trip. Could not have been better.  Last week a nice morning run in South America, this week, a trail and beach run on Deception Island just off the coast of the Antarctic peninsula.

We carefully packed our winter running gear and trail shoes to log a nice 5K among the penguins and birds.

It was a pleasant -1 degree Celsius with only a light wind to slow us down.

Unfortunately, running in the volcanic sand and rocks makes sub-7 minute miles challenging, so instead we had fun jumping over rocks, melting snow and small water flows.

Running around the world is always fun.  Some of my other favorite spots:
