Our journey did not, in fact, begin at Hercules Inlet, where frozen ocean meets the land of Antarctica.

And in the process, I became the first person in history to make the entire 650 mile journey, from Hercules Inlet to South Pole, solely on feet, without skis.

Now if you don't have power, or, God forbid, the power cuts out in the middle of surgery, this machine transitions automatically, without even having to touch it, to drawing in room air from this inlet.
