Alone In Antarctica
In January 2012, almost 100 years to the day after Captain Scott reached the South Pole, Felicity Aston became the first woman in history to ski across Antarctica alone.
Over 59 days Felicity dragged 85kg of supplies 1744km across the coldest continent on earth, enduring temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees and storm force winds.
Find out what it took to spend two months alone in this extreme, treacherous yet beautiful environment. In recognition of Felicity’s expeditions and polar exploration she was awarded an MBE and the Polar Award.
This is an illustrated talk with footage and images from Felicity’s expedition.
