Around the World: South Pole

Ski trek

Seven women on a 900 km Antarctic ski trek reached the South Pole yesterday, 38 days after they began their adventure to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Commonwealth.

"I'm incredibly proud of the team and I think ... if we can do this then you can do anything that you like to and that's the message that we really want to send to everyone," team leader Felicity Aston said in a message from South Pole.
