Antarctica is a difficult place for anyone to cross, let alone someone with a high-level spinal cord injury.

But a British man who was paralysed permanently nine years ago is attempting a new world record of sit-skiing to the South Pole.

After training for more than two years, Darren Edwards has now arrived in Antarctica.
