Prince Harry's South Pole Race Is Off.
A race to the South Pole featuring Prince Harry has been abandoned due to harsh conditions.
Expedition director Ed Parker announced the race was over due to the "higher degree of stress imposed on the team members, due to unprecedented terrain on the plateau".
However, Mr Parker said that the South Pole Allied Challenge expedition would continue - with all three teams coming together into one non-competitive group.
Harry was racing with a team of injured British servicemen and women against United States and Commonwealth groups in an expedition organised by the Walking With The Wounded charity.
