Feng Jing, the first Chinese woman to ski to the South Pole, has embarked on another challenging expedition—hiking to the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility (POI), the farthest point from all the coastlines of Antarctica.

The 37-year-old set off from Cape Town, South Africa, on November 5. She plans to complete a trek of over 1,800 km from the Antarctic coast to the Southern POI in 90 days. She will be accompanied by two guides.

So far, only three such expeditions without mechanical force have been carried out successfully. Seven men have reached the POI by kite skiing.

Feng reached the South Pole in 2018 after skiing 1,130 km, becoming the first Chinese woman to achieve the feat.
