Kaspersky Lab announced the beginning of the Kaspersky ONE Transantarctic Expedition, which will see famous British explorer Felicity Aston making a 1700km journey across Antarctica. The expedition set off from the Ross Ice Shelf on 25 November 2011.
Supported by Kaspersky Lab, Felicity will be the first woman in history to cross Antarctica alone. Felicity will travel alone through the Transantarctic Mountains, along a route never skied before to the South Pole, and on across the Polar Plateau to the opposite coast at the Ronne Ice Shelf.
“The Kaspersky ONE Transantarctic Expedition is the culmination of everything I have learnt from all my previous polar journeys. So, you could say that I have been preparing for this journey for more than a decade. I am both excited and daunted by the challenge ahead but consider it a privilege to be heading across Antarctica alone,” said Felicity Aston.
