Support player Hjertaker stated this in a press release last night.

Manager André Fjærestrand Bratli wrote that he reached the pole just before 03:30 Norwegian time on Sunday night.

Thus, he is the youngest person in the world to travel alone.

Tired and hungry

– Hedvig was exhausted, hungry and had frostbite, but fine and according to her condition in good condition, he wrote.

¨He says that last night at 3:19 a.m. a text message came in from him: “Hello! Onward! That far gone. now”.

It’s been 49 days since it started on November 27.

Before he really started, he had pneumonia and antibiotics.

Sleds weighing 100 kg+

He had dragged a sled weighing over 100 kilograms with him. There were tough conditions on the trip, which Bratli described as “very demanding”.

– Especially when he walks alone. Safe, reasonable and good choices must be made. It became more and more challenging the further into the journey he went.

He said that last weekend was dramatic when the solar panels stopped working. Then he could lose contact with the base and the security team.

But after three days, new solar panels were flown in so essential equipment like GPS and satellite phones were still working.

Strong headwind

On average, Hjertaker skis 12 hours a day, and he sleeps six hours. The rest of the time he spent packing, eating, and resting. In the last two weeks, there have been longer ski sessions and less sleep.

The conditions of the last 10 to 12 days were tough, and marked by a rough road, said Bratli.

There have been strong headwinds and sastrugi. Sastrugi is a groove-shaped elevation that can reach 30 centimeters in height and crosses with the direction of the wind. They are difficult to pass, and the risk of breaking the skis increases.

– Now we’re delighted to have Hedvig safely cross the finish line along with the world record she’s fighting for here. The youngest woman in the world to go alone to the South Pole, she wrote.

He stated that Hjertaker would not be available until two weeks from now. It takes seven to ten days before he returns from Antarctica.
