Antarctica, the frozen continent, witnessed an unusual spectacle of women. An all-women expedition, comprising 76 women, will stay in the frozen continent for a month, with a determination and objective to survive the harshest climate of the planet.

The project implemented by Homeward Bound, an Australian initiative, has women from different scientific disciplines from different countries. Their drive to fight and survive the coldest place on earth would be hailed as an epic act of bravery.

The objective of the Homeward Bound is to instill confidence and develop leadership qualities among women.  For that the frozen continent will be a unique ground.
