WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Seven women on a 562-mile Antarctic ski trek reached the South Pole on Thursday, 38 days after they began their adventure to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Commonwealth.
Skiing six to 10 hours a day, members of the Commonwealth Women’s Antarctic Expedition trekked an average of 15 miles a day, each hauling a 176-pound sled of provisions and shelter to reach the South Pole.
The expedition included women from Brunei, Cyprus, Ghana, India, New Zealand, Singapore and Britain.
