A former Army officer covered 566 miles (911km) of Antarctic tundra in 46 days despite the effects of the debilitating stroke he suffered in 2014.

Jonny Huntington, from Kingsbridge, South Devon made history after becoming the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole and has credited his military training as "invaluable" in keeping him moving.
