In a little over one-year, Minnesota's Ann Bancroft and a Norwegian will attempt to become the first female team to cross Antarctica. Bancroft, a 43-year old former schoolteacher, is the first woman to both poles, she led the aborted All Women's Expedition to Antarctica in 1993, and she's fairly well-known to our listeners. But we haven't yet met her partner in the endeavor, Liv Arneson. Arneson is a 45-year old Norwegian schoolteacher who in 1994 skied alone and unsupported to Antarctica. She wrote a book about that trip that has just recently been translated into English. It's called Good Girls Don't Ski to the South Pole. Arneson says the Bancroft Arneson Expedition will be their toughest challenge.
