Breathtaking photos from the race against time!
The Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole began on 4 January and concluded on 28 January 2012. 7 teams from 6 countries, over 700km in 25 days all in support of one cause: create awareness of climate change. Have a look at the photos from the race that will leave you in awe of Mother Nature, and the challenges two men bravely faced as they fought back against climate change.
