2045 km, 74 days, -50°C. From November 14, 2014 to January 27, 2015, Stéphanie Gicquel skied across Antarctica through the South Pole. An expedition she had imagined, planned and prepared for three years. This is notably the longest ski expedition for a woman in Antarctica without kiting. This 30 minute film is not only about adventure. It is mainly about the meaning of things, fear, freedom, fulfillment, and boldness. An invitation for everyone to live intensely, without fear nor regret. And a testimony of being one with the Antarctic landmass - similar as a frozen ocean located 3,000 meters high, with ice waves shaped by the wind. A sanctuary where nature is so powerful and strong against explorers who dare to come, but at the same time so fragile.
