No man's land
Matthias Mayr (2018)
Due to the extreme cold, the glaciated terrain and the desert climate, freeskiing in Antarctica seemed to be impossible. But the two freeskiers and adventurers Matthias Haunholder and Matthias Mayr don ́t care if regions are ment to be too remote or harsh for skiing. They are getting even more attracted by so called hard conditions. Together with cinematographer Johannes Aitzetmüller they set over for an unsupported expedition into the mainland of Antarctica to find beautiful mountains for skiing. The 3 men team, each hauling a 90kg sled, covered a distance of more than 150km by hiking and using kites. What they found, was much better than expected. The 'holy grale' of freeriding.- 2018
