the first iceman of antarctica
On Feb 25, 2020, Anders Hofman completed the first-ever, long distance triathlon in Antarctica, the Iceman, to show that limitations are perceptions of what we can achieve. The purpose was to inspire others to dare pursue their “impossible” dreams.
Limitations are perceptions OF what we can achieve
WHY
“Today, we often put boundaries on ourselves or other people, making up limitations of what is achievable. But I want to show that limitations are only perceptions of what we can achieve. That even the ordinary can achieve the extraordinary through passion, extreme dedication, and an immense belief in yourself.”
- Anders Hofman -
The ordinary can achieve the extraordinary
the iceman
Not an official race or competition, but an ordinary guy, achieving the extraordinary by swimming 3.9 km in ice water, biking 180 km and running 42.2 km in ice and snow on Antarctica’s glacial surface in February 2020. The event takes place during a 33-day expedition by boat from Ushuaia, Argentina, across the Drake Passage to Antarctica. All safety precautions are taken and the team includes some of the most experienced people in the world, when it comes to expeditions in Antarctica.
not an official race. just one guy. doing what no human has done before.

THE VISION
