No doubt, that there may have been other Irish persons that may have worked at the Scott Base, but the record books show that Mike Barry was the first Irishman to get to the South Pole manhauling his own supplies from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole in 2004.

Other notable Irish firsts include Mark Pollock, who was the first Blind person to walk to the South Pole in 2009, and Clare O'Leary, who was the first Irish woman to reach the South Pole, in 2008 when she was a member of the first all Irish team to reach the Pole.
