Introduction
Join Lilith on this harrowing voyage through the world's final frontier of exploration.
Lilith is embarking on this trek to collect snow samples for science and use the publicity for climate advocacy. The planetary ecosystems are fragile, and humanity is literally on Thin Ice.
The 50-day solo unsupported ski expedition crossing the Antarctic Polar Desert is her most challenging adventure to date. It will require months of arduous training to handle the cold and hauling her 85 kg heavy supply sled.
