New Record: The British Army physician is likely to overcome Antarctica on skiing (video)

Harprit Chandy drove on average 12-13 hours a day and pulled 75-pounds with everything necessary for survival. The British Army Medical Service Officer Harprit Chandy said she became the fastest woman who was skiing through Antarctica alone. She overcame 1130 km of Antarctic ice in 31 days, 13 hours and 19 minutes. The Guardian writes about it. Captain Harprit Chandy beat two Guinness records last year during polar research, and now claims that she has been beaten by a third.

The British overcame 1130 kilometers of Antarctic ice in 31 days, 13 hours and 19 minutes, ahead of the previous record holder, Canadian Carolina Kot, for one day, 14 hours and 34 minutes. The publication notes that the Guinness Book of Records still has to confirm a record that may take several months. "I am tired but very glad that I got it. It was not at all like my last expedition. In the past expedition, I completely squeezed my best, and a speed attempt is quite different.

After my last expedition, I knew that I could be able to be fine To cope with the ice, and it added to me the confidence that I will cope with the task, " - said Chandy. The woman was skiing on average 12-13 hours a day and pulled 75-pounds with everything necessary for survival. "It was definitely not a sprint, but I had to constantly weigh my strength and how much time I will ski daily. Too long or too fast - and I couldn't handle it.

Too slow or too early finish - and I will lose record" , - said the British. Chandy from Derby (England) is now on a break after military service, where she worked as a physiotherapist, engaged in the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers and officers. She went down in history, becoming the first color woman to make a 700-mile (1126 km) Antarctic trip to the South Pole alone and without support.

Returning next year, the girl beat two world records, including completed the longest single ski expedition without one end. She recently received the title of MBE and was named the woman of the year at the Women in Defense awards in 2022. Having broken two world records, she did not expect to return to Antarctica this year, but soon realized that she needed a "new challenge".

"This expedition is aimed not only at pushing yourself, but also to inspire others to challenge your borders and overcome barriers. It is at such difficult moments that you will find out what is capable of," Chandy added. The woman will soon return to the United Kingdom to recover and plan her next adventure.
