It was humbling and brutal to conquer 3 unclimbed Antarctic Peaks
“We need more role models for young people and I want to do my very best to show the next generation that anything is possible with belief and hard work,” - the inspirational words of adventurer Jordan Wylie MBE as he made history with his latest feat.
The TV personality and adventurer from Blackpool has successfully completed three historic first ascents on previously unclimbed and unmapped Antarctic peaks as part of his pioneering expedition, Antarctic Odyssey 2025.
The 42-year-old, who is also a UK Army Cadet Force National Ambassador, reached the summits over the last week in some of the coldest, windiest and most remote terrain on Earth, operating deep inside the Heritage Range on mountains where no human had ever previously set foot.
The climbs mark a significant milestone in his mission to champion true exploration while raising life-changing funds for the Army Cadet Charitable Trust UK (ACCT UK).

“These mountains have stood untouched for thousands of years,” Wylie said via satellite link. “To step onto their summits for the first time was humbling, brutal, emotional and beautiful in equal measure.
“But the real purpose behind every step is to help create more opportunities for young people back home. That’s what drives me. We need more role models for young people and I want to do my very best to show the next generation that anything is possible with belief and hard work”
Wylie who is sponsored by national plumbing and drainage company Dyno-Rod is raising funds for the Army Cadets Charitable Trust which provide life changing opportunities for young people.
So far he has raised over £60,000 and will set off for the final phase of his Antarctic Odyssey in the coming days where he will ski to the South Pole with former SAS officer Louis Rudd from Shackleton Expeditions.
