Prince Harry sleeps in freezer to prepare for South Pole trek

The 29-year-old royal, Prince Harry, has spent over 20 hours in a giant freezer to simulate the freezing conditions he will face when he treks 208 miles to the South Pole this winter. When asked what the worst part of his overnight experience was, he joked: "Going in."

Prince Harry has spent the night in a giant freezer to simulate the conditions he will face when he treks to the South Pole in November.

The 29-year-old royal, who will race with a team of injured British servicemen and women against groups from the United States and the Commonwealth, spent around 20 hours in a cold chamber where he was subjected to temperatures of -35 Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit), with wind speeds of 45 miles per hour.

Alongside four teammates - all amputees who lost limbs after sustaining injuries in Afghanistan - Harry tested the clothing he will wear on the 200-mile (320-kilometer) expedition and learned how to avoid frostbite.
