Ben aims to repeat his North Pole speed record attempt in March 2010, followed by The Scott Antarctic Expedition 2011-12, the first return journey to the South Pole on foot. At 1,800 miles (2,900 km) and nearly four months, it will be the longest unsupported (i.e. human-powered, with no air-drops, vehicles or kites) polar expedition in history.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or plans:
“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“We for a certainty are not the first
Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled
Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed
Whatever brute and blackguard made the world.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
