Ordinary Women: An Arctic Adventure

The chronicle of the first all-women ski expedition from Russia to the North Pole in 2001. Carter, the expedition’s organizer, describes the eight-year process of team selection, physical training, and the logistics of managing food, clothing, and shelter, along with problems with group leadership, both in preparation for the expedition and while on the ice. An amazing story of women working together, taking on harsh critics, challenging each other, and reaching a common goal.
