Falvey's Team reaches the South Pole

Brendan Lawlor / 14.01.2008
A four-strong team made history on Jan 8th 2008 becoming the first Irish expedition to reach the South Pole.

The team - leader Pat Falvey (50), Dr Clare O'Leary (35), Jonathan Bradshaw (36) and Shaun Menzies (42) - arrived at their destination in good spirits.

They had been trekking since November through some of the harshest known conditions, battling icy winds, sub-zero temperatures and snowstorms.
The squad, who make up the Beyond Endurance expedition, have travelled around 1,100km, with each member hauling a sledge weighing over 150kg.
