There, in December 2014, the Selma crew took part in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. After that they started their sail to the coldest and most inaccessible Antarctic basin - The Ross Sea.

In the history, only a few yachts managed to enter the Ross Sea, however none of them got as far. It was one of the very last 'Everest-like' achievements to be made by humanity.
