53 Days. 700 Miles. Alone in Antarctica.

What does it take to survive completely alone in one of the most extreme environments on Earth?

In this episode of the World Extreme Medicine Podcast, we sit down with Cat Burford, also known as The Molar Explorer. A dentist by profession and an adventurer at heart, Cat took on a solo, unsupported ski expedition to the South Pole, covering over 700 miles in -40°C temperatures while pulling a 100kg sled.

She shares:

  • The moment that almost ended her expedition
  • How she trained for the mental and physical toll of the journey
  • The unexpected ways her medical background helped in the field
  • What it’s really like to spend 53 days in total isolation
  • Her biggest lessons in resilience, endurance, and adventure

  • If you’re fascinated by extreme environments, human endurance, and the mindset required to push beyond limits, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
