Norwegian Explorer BORGE OUSLAND (pronounced "BOR-gay OWS-lan"). Ousland was the first man to complete a solo expedition to both the North and South Poles. In November of 1996 he began a solo crossing of the Antarctic continent. He reached his destination on January 17, 1997. The 64-day trek covered 1,764 miles and was made unsupported, meaning Ousland carried all the necessary supplies for the journey. 12:28:30 FORWARD PROMO (:29)12:29:00 I.D. BREAK (:59)12:
