Norway’s Kristin Harila nears record for fastest summits.
Today Antarctica is feeling the strain of tourism and the strict rules that govern them. But not so long ago, the continent was truly wild.
Army officer Preet Chandi, known as Polar Preet, says "it was the toughest thing I've ever done".
Following a delayed rendezvous because of weather and polar terrain, Polar Preet has rendezvoused with her pilot and has taken off to head to Union Glacier in Antarctica. British Army officer Captain Preet Chandi – known as Polar Preet – is expected to spend some time recovering at Union Glacier, the Antarctica base camp, before leaving the continent.
Preet Chandi, known as Polar Preet, travels 868 miles (1,397 km) across Antarctica alone.
