Prince Harry and his fellow Walking With The Wounded adventurers have reached the South Pole.
After more than three weeks pulling sleds across the frozen wastes of Antarctica, the group, which includes Duncan Slater from Muir of Ord, near Inverness, stood at the bottom of the world at midday.
The adventurers include 12 servicemen and women from the UK and other nations who have suffered terrible injuries, including the loss of limbs.
Mr Slater, 34, a former RAF Regiment Sergeant, lost both his legs in a blast in Afghanistan in 2009 and has now become the first double amputee to walk to the South Pole.
The team's trek took them more than 200 miles across the bleak continent to the geographic South Pole.
The Prince had joined part of the Walking With The Wounded trek to the North Pole in 2011 but was determined to play a full part in this expedition and was named its patron earlier in the year.
Ed Parker, the expedition's director and co-founder of the Walking With The Wounded charity that organised the challenge, said: "We always knew that this wasn't going to be easy, but that is what makes the challenge so exciting.
"Our aim was to show that, despite injury, young men and women from our armed forces can still achieve great things.
"We came down here, determined to get 12 men and women, all injured in conflict, to the South Pole, and this is what we have done. The feeling is incredible."
Originally the challenge was a race between UK, American, and the Commonwealth teams.
But the teams encountered difficult terrain that forced organisers to suspend the competition last weekend and make the expedition a group effort over safety fears, as some competitors were becoming very tired.
Harry welcomed the decision when he recorded a voice blog earlier this week and said morale was high among the men and women taking part in the challenge.
Just a few weeks before the group set off for Antarctica he broke a toe but later joked it was not enough to get him out of the challenge.
