Edmund Hillary's defiant South Pole dash | Stuff.co.nz
'He is arguably the greatest of all New Zealanders, but Sir Edmund Hillary - driving a Massey Ferguson tractor - briefly became the most hated man in England. '
'Casual jaunt: Sir Edmund Hillary was never meant to reach the South Pole in 1958. '
'All he was supposed to do was drop food supplies for a coming Vivian Fuchs-led British expedition. '
'Instead, he had been ordered to drop off supplies for a British expedition, but the Everest conqueror had ideas of his own. '
'In some measure, the Fuchs-led British expedition was meant to right that perceived wrong. '
