"I always thought people didn't believe in me. But they just didn't believe a woman can do it!"

But SHE WALKS the TALK. Not only did she skied aross Antarctica, and reached the North Pole, but she spent an 3 consecutive years in an Antarctic Research Station, confronting challenges that mirrored the intensity of a horror movie. Undeterred by the prevailing belief that polar expeditions were solely for men, Felicity became a passionate advocate for gender equality in the field, determined to shatter the myth and pave the way for more women to embrace the challenges of polar exploration.
