What I’ll be doing at Festival of The Girl

​

What does it actually take to survive Antarctica? In this interactive stage session, Naomi will take girls behind the scenes of her South Pole training. We’ll discover what you eat at -40°C, what you wear, how you train and what makes Antarctica one of the most extreme places on Earth — with real kit to explore and an interactive polar layering challenge.

It’s a chance to discover what goes into preparing for an enormous adventure — and why you don’t have to feel ready before you start doing something extraordinary.
