Felicity Aston: Modern Day Adventurer
Felicity Aston is an accomplished explorer, writer and photographer, mixing the contemporary skills needed to sustain a career in adventure and exploration.
At 31, Felicity already has an enviable expedition portfolio. She’s raced in the Canadian Arctic, led a team of women across the inland ice of Greenland, searched for meteorite craters in Quebec, skied along a frozen river in Siberia, traversed the winter ice of Lake Baikal, completed the infamous Marathon Des Sables across the Moroccan Sahara and spent three years living and working in the Antarctic. She is now leading an all-women expedition to the South Pole.

Hannah McKeand, Polar Explorer
Now and then we hear about an incredible person who deserves a little more exposure than they get. Hannah McKeand isn’t foreign to the concept of true exposure, though, she’s a world record breaker after skiing from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole in 2006, a 39 day, 9 hour and 33 minute journey over 690 miles. She hopes to become the first ever woman to ski solo to the North Pole.
