Surviving alone: how I skied 700 miles across Antarctica
Battling extreme cold and violent winds, Preet Chandi attempted to become the first woman of colour to ski solo to the South Pole. Chandi spoke about having to channel the power of her Punjabi community to help her try and push through severe exhaustion and disorientating hallucinations to reach the southernmost point on Earth.
Preet, who served in the army as an officer for over a decade, wants to be an inspiration for future generations, saying that 'if a Punjabi girl from Derby can reach the South Pole, then anything is possible.'
Expedition tells the stories of individuals stepping out of the rhythms of everyday life to embark on incredible adventures across the globe.
