Alone in Antarctica

This event has already happened!

In January 2012, almost 100 years to the day after Captain Scott reached the South Pole, Felicity Aston became the first woman in history to ski across Antarctica alone.  For 59 days Felicity dragged 85kg of supplies 1744 km across the coldest continent on earth, enduring temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees and storm force winds. Spending two months alone in this extreme landscape, where even the smallest mistakes can prove treacherous, was a gruelling yet remarkable experience.  Using her own footage and stunning images from her expedition, Felicity will transport the audience to the last true remaining wilderness on Earth.

Full £12.00    Concession £11.00    Supporter £10.00
