Riding fat wheels in Antarctica

My top 3 insights:

  1. Riding on soft snow feels harder than riding against a reasonably good wind. It takes a lot of energy to maintain balance to flow with the bike’s skidding and continue pedalling forward.
  2. You will get warm at some point during the ride, so be prepared to take off or put on layers, mostly depending on wind conditions.
  3. Stay very safe, and respect the local markings around potential crevasses.
