The first woman in history to ski solo across the entire Antarctic continent. Led the 2009 Kaspersky Lab Commonwealth Antarctic Expedition, the largest and most international women’s team ever to ski to the South Pole. Also raced in the Canadian Arctic, led a team of women across the inland ice of Greenland, skied along a frozen river in Siberia and spent three years living and working in the Antarctic. Felicity is an accessible, engaging and challenging speaker.
Every year we organise over 100 events at venues throughout the UK. Our mountaineers, explorers and adventurers give first hand-accounts of their remarkable journeys and transport audiences to the wildest landscapes on Earth.
Straight from her latest solo expedition to become the first women to ski solo across the entire Antarctic continent, polar explorer Felicity Aston will talk about her first record breaking trip to the South Pole.
In 2009, Felicty led a diverse, multicultural team of ordinary women on one of the most arduous journeys on earth: a 900km trek to the South Pole. The 38-day expedition saw the 8 women, some of whom had never even seen snow before, enduring eighty-mile-an-hour winds, frostbite and daily injuries whilst skiing across the cracking ice, which revealed deadly crevasses beneath. A truly inspirational story and fascinating insight into the coldest, driest and most challenging continent on Earth.
