Icecap Journeys
CROSSING THE WORLD’S FOUR MAJOR ICECAPS – GOAL ACHIEVED!
It’s taken 10 years and many hours of preparation, training and skiing. Linda Beilharz has spent 166 nights camping on ice, felt the full glory of all types of weather, experienced minus 38 and minus 56 C with wind chill, wind storms, sun dogs, snow and rain and seen endless horizons , a huge white world. This makes her the first Australian woman, and one of only 11 women worldwide, to have done an ‘all the way’ expedition to North and South Poles. What an amazing achievement and what amazing parts of the world to see.
