The distance the Antarctic Fire Angels will ski everyday for 70 days in order to traverse Antarctica from Berkner Island-South Pole-Axel Heiberg Glacier-Ross Ice Shelf. No female team has done this route before. #firefighters #MentalHealthMatters #inspiregirls #inspirewomen

[Antarctic Fire Angels @antarctic_fire]

For weeks we wracked our brains finding our team name. Meet the brilliant William & Elin, children of team member @BeciNewton she asked them what we should be called- 'mummy is a Firefighter angel' they said & so Antarctic Fire Angels became our name. Thank you William & Elin 👏
