In August, identical twin explorers Hugo and Ross Turner, better known as The Turner Twins, successfully became the first people to journey to the Australian Pole of Inaccessibility, using Paramotors.
They started on the southern coast of Australia near Adelaide and journeyed over 1,600kms over unforgiving, remote deserts and mountains of the Outback, finally finishing 300kms North-West of Alice Springs in an area of Australia known as, the Red Centre.
This latest Quest from The Turner Twins, named The Red Pole, wasn’t without its trials and tribulations.
The trip, which was their first flying expedition using Paramotors, included many dangers and risks along the way such as freezing temperatures, extreme heat, turbulent air and weather, poisonous snakes and spiders and the chance of crashing in the remote Outback with little or no hope of immediate rescue.
Joining them on the epic expedition was a fellow pilot Kester Haynes who provided vital provisions, fuel, technical support and supplies along the route. While voyaging through the outback, they filmed from the air, capturing some unique and stunning film. The film is currently on Redbull.com
