Could you ski to the South Pole? That was the challenge that BritishAdventurer, Felicity Aston put to women from around the Commonwealthas she set out to create the most international all-female expedition ever tothe South Pole. The team would not be experienced explorers but 'ordinary'women who wanted inspire others to follow their dreams or make a changefor the better in their lives. She received more than 800 applications andembarked on a three-month journey around the world to interviewcandidates. 'What is skiing?' was the question that greeted her in Ghana.At the close of 2009, Felicity led a team from places as diverse as Jamaica,India, Singapore and Cyprus - some of whom had never even seen snow orspent the night in a tent before joining the expedition - on a 900 km skiingtrek across the Antarctic, one of the toughest and most notoriously hazardousjourneys on the planet.Eighty-mile-an-hour winds ripped through base camp; frostbite and injurieswere an everyday occurrence; deadly crevasses emerged from the crackingice beneath their feet. But they also shared beliefs, ideas, philosophies andlaughter, made lasting memories and broke no less than six World Records.
