The Impossible First: From Fire to Ice—Crossing Antarctica Alone

by Colin O'Brady (Author)

Colin O’Brady is one of the world’s most recognized endurance athletes and explorers, and he's set 10 world records. He’s a New York Times bestselling author, sought-after public speaker, entrepreneur and Yale University graduate.

In January of 2008, O'Brady suffered a severe burn injury while traveling in rural Thailand. Traumatically, doctors warned he would never walk normally again. Supported by his mother, he went on to make a full recovery, and just a year and a half after his accident, won the Chicago triathlon. A seemingly impossible goal, he turned into reality.

Over the last decade Colin has continued to pursue a life of adventure and sought to unlock human potential. He’s set records for the Explorers Grand Slam, Seven Summits and 50 High Points Challenge.

In 2018 Colin became the first person in history to cross the continent of Antarctica - solo, unsupported and completely human-powered. The New York Times wrote O'Brady's Antarctica crossing “joined some of the most remarkable achievements in polar history."
