Felicity Aston becomes the first woman ever to have crossed Antarctica alone.
The 33-year old British woman is also the "first person to make the crossing using only her own strength to ski the 1,084 miles" (BBC News).
"It's all a little bit overwhelming after days and days of counting the time and the distance to get here. I seem to have got here all of a rush all of a sudden and I don't really feel prepared for it. I mean it feels amazing to be finished and yet overwhelmingly sad that it's over at the same time," Ms. Aston said.
Starting from Leverett Glacier, the expedition took a total of 59 days ending at Antarctica's Hercules Inlet.
