"Three Canadian men have claimed a new record for the fastest trek across Antarctica to the South Pole.
Ray Zahab, Kevin Vallely and Richard Weber said they had completed the 1,130 km (700 miles) journey in 33 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes.
They say they suffered white-out but survived on a
high-calorie diet of deep-fried bacon, cheese and butter.
The Canadians' journey took them from Hercules Inlet on Antarctica's Ronne Ice Shelf to the South Pole."
