Introduction
Join Lilith on this harrowing voyage through the world's final frontier of exploration.
Lilith is embarking on this trek to collect snow samples for science and use the publicity for climate advocacy. The planetary ecosystems are fragile, and humanity is literally on Thin Ice.
The 45-day solo unsupported ski expedition crossing the Antarctic Polar Desert is her most challenging adventure to date. It will require months of arduous training to handle the cold and hauling her 85kg heavy supply sled.

Using the publicity of the record-breaking South Pole expedition to demand actions to protect our climate. Media attention always contributes to building public opinion and political pressure for fast action.
Scientific
Contribution
Collaborating with the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research to collect snow samples, providing vital information on atmospheric particles crucial for snow formation and their variations along the passage.
A Trekking Milestone
More people have been to space than have reached the South Pole by overland passage.
At 24 years old, Lilith van Amerongen will travel solo and unsupported to the heart of Antarctica.
