The Week in Pictures: Kite Skiing Across Antarctica, "Spaghetti with Balls," and More
A Record-Breaking Trip Across the Icy Continent

Sebastian Copeland is no stranger to cold journeys through Polar terrain: Images he took during a photographic study of Antarctica won him the Photographer of the Year award in 2007, and three years later he released a documentary that followed him on a trek to the North Pole.
His most recent trip, though, was even more extreme than usual: Copeland and traveling partner Eric McNair-Landry spent three months on a transcontinental trek of Antarctica, setting not one, but three world records along the way, with help from kites that tapped the wind to make skiing much faster.
