Log of the first bike ride to the South Pole. Daniel Burton, owner of Epic Biking rode a bike from Hercules Inlet on the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole. It has been attempted by others but Daniel Burton is the only person to actually do it.

Desert?
They say Antarctic is a desert because it has such low humidity and receives so little snowfall. However we got a light snowfall for several days and here you can see the snow is sticking to the bike. The soft snore was one of my worst enemies. There is a nice firm base under the snow here so biking was still possible, but the sleds would be a lot harder to pull and the traction would be low requiring a very low tire pressure.
