RECORD BREAKERS: AROUND THE WORLD IN 3 DAYS 

Did you know that two Indian men have set a new Guinness World Record by travelling to all seven continents in three days, one hour, five minutes, and four seconds?

Two Indian men, Dr. Ali Irani and Sujoy Kumar Mitra, have set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest time to travel to all seven continents by accomplishing it in just 73 hours.

The record book wrote on its website that the fastest time to travel to all seven continents is 3 days, 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 4 seconds and was achieved by Sujoy Kumar Mitra and Dr. Ali Irani (both India) in Melbourne, Australia, on December 7, 2022.

According to Guinness World Records, Sujoy and Dr Ali are passionate travellers who believe that all records are made to be broken.

In four days, Mr. Irani and Mr. Mitra visited all seven continents of Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Antarctica, and Oceania.

The duo set off on their journey on December 4 in Antarctica, and they arrived in Melbourne, Australia, on December 7, breaking the incredible world record.

Just two years ago, the previous Guinness World Record for the fastest time to travel to all seven continents was set by a United Arab Emirates (UAE) woman, Dr. Khawla Al Romaithi, who became the first woman to have solo travelled all the seven continents in a mere 3 days 14 hours 46 minutes 48 seconds, that is even less than 90 hours.

During her journey, Romaithi had visited a total of 208 countries and dependent territories, making Sydney, Australia her last stop on February 13, 2020. Her trip came to a halt with the onset of the coronavirus lockdown, as per the official website of Guinness World Record.
