Quite an achievement - but not when you have just 'poled'!
π€© George returned from the South Pole just last week! π€©
She is one of the two Antarctic Fire Angels, two 'ordinary women doing extraordinary things', who has just ski'd 1230km across Antarctica to the South Pole, towing a huge 110kg* sledge behind her! Not settling for an easy option, they chose a route that had never been done before, up a couple of mountains, in temperatures sometimes as low as -50'C, and all in just 52 days! Unsupported - so pulling all that they needed behind them.
Wow! To find out more about these incredible women and their amazing expedition, do have a look at their website:

*17 stone in old money! And apparently, the snow in Antarctica isn't really slippery - so imagine dragging it across wet, heavy sticky sand, for 70,000 steps a day, with it squeaking like nails on a blackboard. π«£
