Q&A with Felicity Aston MBE, British polar explorer
In this online talk with Q&A, Felicity will be sharing her experiences on her skiing expedition.
In 2012 British polar explorer Felicity Aston MBE became the first woman to ski across Antarctica alone. The 1744 km/1084 mile, 59-day journey earned her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records, and in 2015 she was awarded the Polar Medal for services to the Arctic and Antarctic.
In this online talk with Q&A, Felicity will be sharing her experiences on this landmark expedition as well as other 'firsts' from more than two decades of exploration in the cold, including the first British women's crossing of Greenland and record-making international women's expeditions to both the North Pole and South Pole.
