In 2008 they kayaked 3318 km across the Tasman Sea from Australia to New Zealand, becoming the first to do so.
On 26 January 2012, Castrission and Jones completed the first unsupported polar expedition from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without mechanical assistance. After 89 days they made it back to the coast, having skied 2275 km while towing sleds full of supplies. They arrived alongside Aleksander Gamme who had waited for them so they could all finish together.
