Daniel Paul Burton (born December 4, 1963) is an American bicycle enthusiast from Eagle Mountain, Utah,[1] and the first person to complete an expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole by bicycle (though not the first to cycle to it).

He decided to set out on his Antarctic ride to inspire people and to encourage donations to the American Diabetes Association.

He also wanted to ride in honor of his mother, whose high cholesterol contributed to her death on November 30, 2012.

[1] Burton began riding fatbikes, which are fortified bikes with wide tires that are intended for sand, ice and snow.

He started at Hercules Inlet and rode 775 miles (1,247 km)[7] on a Borealis Yampa fatbike[4][8] until he reached the Geographic South Pole.
