Meet The Twins On A Mission To Reach The Most Inaccessible Points On Earth – RedBull

On bike, foot and – erm – paramotor, Ross and Hugo Turner have found a way to reach some of earth’s most extreme points. The duo talk us through their adventure so far.

The Turner Twins have a bond most siblings could only dream of. After breaking his neck aged 17, Hugo Turner’s perspective on life changed, and he and his brother Ross decided to undertake a life of adventure. Once Hugo was well again, the Englishmen set out on a 2,650-mile row across the Atlantic. Not content with being punished by 40-foot waves, they then attempted to traverse Greenland’s polar ice cap, using the same clothing as Sir Ernest Shackleton. They then did the same thing – donning the clothing of a century ago – to climb Mount Elbrus.

Now the twins are in the process of finding the world’s eight Poles of Inaccessibility – the points farthest inland on every continent. With three down, and five to go…..
