Which meant he skied and dog sled across Greenland, sailed to America and then cycled across North America and South America before again sailing across the Southern Ocean to arrive in Sydney Australia one year, one month and one day later.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
