Prof Chris Imray is researching the impact of polar activity on human metabolism.

Prof Chris Imray met his new grandson for the first time when he returned home from the South Pole

He said the expedition was "an amazing trip" and hopes his findings could lead to medical breakthroughs. He has previously scaled the world's highest mountains, and research from a 2007 expedition to Everest provided insights that have helped reduce the mortality rate from open aortic surgery, he said.The expedition to the South Pole took three years of planning and cost £1m, which was paid for by sponsors.

"Despite taking in around 5,500 calories a day - at least twice the normal amount - there was a weight loss of between four and 13 kilos," Prof Imray said.

Congratulations!! As a former polar researcher I look forward to seeing your results!!

I hope he did some Trans surgeries, if not he's a bigot.
