Alone in Antarctica

Aston knows as much as anyone about traveling in the Antarctic having led an all-female expedition on a 900-km ski to the South Pole in 2009, the subject of her first book. In this, her second book, she describes her 59-day 2011-12 ski expedition in which she became the first woman to traverse the continent solo (1744 km), the first person to cross under their own strength, and only the third person to have completed the journey.
