Former Gurkha Hari Budha Magar has become the first double above-knee amputee to summit the highest peaks on all seven continents, having reached the top of Mount Vinson in Antarctica.
Following years of preparation and a hard three-day climb, Mr Magar, team members Abiral Rai Mingma Sherpa and climb leader Jangbu Sherpa, battled -25C temperatures to reach the summit of the 4,892m peak🏔️
Antarctic winds, treacherous slopes and freezing ice fields tested the former infanteer’s mind, body and prosthetic legs to the extreme.
