The Mail on Sunday will be reviewing Alone in Antarctica
Felicity Aston has spent over a decade travelling, working and living all over the Polar Regions. In 2009 she led the most international team of women ever to ski to the South Pole; this became the subject of her first book, Call of the White, a finalist in the Banff Mountain Book Competition in 2011. Outside Magazine, the leading adventure-travel magazine in the US, named her one of their 2012 Adventurers of the Year.
'An extraordinary journey of solitude and determination'
*Ben Fogle*
'Felicity's dynamic and inspiring storytelling links us all to our
own crossing, helping us all push beyond our fears to reach our
goals. Her descriptions of the ice and her honesty of the feelings
it brings forth, stir our love for that magnificent place and the
lifestyle of the challenge - we want to return!'
*Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen, polar explorers*
'Felicity's gripping adventure captures the thrill and fear of
Antarctic exploration'
*Ranulph Fiennes*

likeable'
