VETLOVE founder Geoff Wilson will embark on a record-breaking 91-day solo journey of Antarctica in support of the McGrath Foundation from October 31.
Mr Wilson plans to kite an ambitious 5800 kilometre crossing of the ice continent through the uncharted Pole of Inaccessibility.
This route includes the 4000 metre high Dome Argus, where temperatures as low as minus 82.5 degrees Celscius have been recorded.
The current record for the longest solo polar journey of Antarctica is held by Rune Gjeddes, who traveled 4814 kilometres.
Mr Wilson, who oversees vet clinics in Jimboomba and Flagstone, said his experience training in cold conditions at New Zealand, North Canada and the Arctic Circle would help him push through the daunting adventure.
"One of the issues I have is that there is nowhere in Australia cold enough to prepare for this," he said.
"I've always connected my journeys with a charity I'm passionate about, and in this case that is the McGrath Foundation.
"I have met women going through breast cancer and have memorised their challenged, that gives me the ability to find the strength to keep going when I want to give up and go home."
In 2014, Mr Wilson raised $250,000 for the McGrath Foundation when he completed the fastest solo crossing of Antarctica in history over 53 days.
He intends to raise another $250,000 from his upcoming three month journey.
Over the past five years, he has raised over $400,000 through philanthropic expeditions.
People can stay updated on the progress of Mr Wilson's trip through the 5th Element Expeditions website.
