Prince Harry faces extreme weather as team gears up for charity trek

Prince Harry is preparing for his Walking with the Wounded charity trek in the South Pole after arriving in Antarctica 6:22PM GMT 24 Nov 2013

Prince Harry has been getting used to life in the sub-zero conditions of the Antarctic ahead of his charity trek with wounded servicemen and women.

The 29-year-old made some final adjustments to the kit he will be taking with him on the 200-mile expedition and took part in some skiing training to acclimatise.

Harry and the teams removed any non-essential items from the sleds they will haul to make them as light as possible.

Each person's kit has now been weighed ahead of their flight to the second base camp at 87 degrees south, which they hope to take on tomorrow, weather permitting.

The Walking With The Wounded South Pole Allied Challenge 2013, of which Harry is patron, will see the participants race across three degrees to the South Pole.
