In 2004, Matt set sail in a 43-foot yacht bound for Antarctica at the age of 22 alongside four like-minded individuals. Determined to complete the 54-day expedition, the crew began sailing across one of the most dangerous oceans in the world, The Great Southern Ocean. Pushing his mental and physical resilience to the extremes, they faced several storms during their voyage and faced a near-fatal capsize on their return. Faced with a fifty-foot wall of water which exploded onto the boat, the crew were thrown over the side of the boat one thousand miles from land and experienced a situation that changed Matt's life forever. Following his return, Matt became the youngest Australian to reach the North Pole, an achievement which proved that his previous expedition had only pushed him to be the best version of himself.
