WATCH: Explorer's Amazing Reaction After Finding 'Buried Treasure' |
This is what happens after 86 days alone in the South Pole. Aleksander Gamme, a Norwegian Explorer, was on a solo expedition in Antarctica when he came across a treasure that he had left for himself nearly three months earlier. A chest full of gold? No. A celebratory bottle of his favorite spirit? No. It was a bag of Cheez Doodles, the tubular cheesy puff snack.
A man claiming to be Gamme hosted an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) on Reddit, the social sharing site, on Friday. There, he described for Redditors the feeling he had when he found the snack. It was "basicly [sic] amazing," Redditor aleksander_gamme wrote. "I mean, It's hard to describe how hungry you are at this moment.." According to ExplorersWeb, a mountaineering and adventure news site, Gamme skied from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole and back, tallying a record 2,260 kilometers (1,404 miles). He made the trip solo without the support of airlifted supplies or kites. Click over to Reddit to read the AMA, and over to ExplorersWeb to read more about Gamme's journey. WATCH: Video at top.
