"The story of how British polar explorer Felicity Aston gathered a team of ten women from across Europe and the Middle East to ski over the frozen Arctic Ocean to the North Pole"-- Provided by publisher
Felicity Astons literarisches Werk taucht in die Extreme menschlicher Ausdauer und des Pioniergeistes ein, tiefgründig inspiriert von ihren eigenen, unvergleichlichen Polarexpeditionen. Sie erforscht meisterhaft Themen wie Einsamkeit, internationale Zusammenarbeit und die Überwindung scheinbar unüberwindlicher Herausforderungen. Astons eindringliche Prosa fängt die rohe Schönheit und die inhärenten Gefahren extremer Umgebungen ein und enthüllt gleichzeitig die innere Stärke gewöhnlicher Menschen, die außergewöhnliche Reisen unternehmen. Ihr Schreiben ist ein Zeugnis für die Kraft des Willens und den angeborenen Entdeckergeist, der uns ins Unbekannte treibt.

In 2009, Felicity Aston led a team of `ordinary' women - some of whom had never even seen snow or slept in a tent before - on a 900 km skiing trek across the Antarctic, one of the toughest journeys on the planet. Despite eighty-mile-an-hour winds, deadly crevasses, frostbite and injuries, the expedition broke six World Records.
A collection of 15 of the most highly prized traits shared by those who have scaled mountains and traversed tundras, proposing how these could be applied to your own life. These are compelling accounts of the life and times of celebrated explorers.
At the age of 34, Felicity Aston became the first woman to cross Antarctica alone. Frozen into her facemask, she battled desperate weather and raced to reach the coast before the last flight out. This gripping and inspirational account shows what you can achieve when you grit your teeth and decide just to get through today in one piece.
