This November 2011, Felicity Aston will attempt to become the first woman to cross the Antarctic alone. Aston, who hails from Birchington-on-Sea in South-Ea near Kent, England, will be skiing 1,700km across Antarctica in 70 days.

It will be an amazing journey! I can't believe how brave she is for doing this on her own. It is very inspirational!

This is cool. I'l definitely be following her journey. My mantra to my family has always been, "I wanna go to Antarctica and do research!" Reading her experience will be a great way to prep for my own trek there someday. And yes, I speak in affirmations.

Won't her phone freeze? I'd like to see her twitter with big gloves on.
