Largest all-female expedition braves Antarctica to fight inequality, climate change
By Umberto Bacchi
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The largest all-female expedition to Antarctica, comprising 76 scientists, is due to set sail from Argentina on Friday in a quest to promote women in science and highlight the impact of climate change on the planet.
The international team will brave sub-zero temperatures to undergo a 20-day bootcamp on the frozen continent aimed at developing their leadership skills and challenging male dominance of senior scientific roles.
Women make up only 28 percent of the world's researchers and are particularly under-represented at senior levels, the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says.
Yet greater female leadership is needed to fight climate change, which disproportionately affects women, according to Fabian Dattner, co-founder of the Antarctica initiative, Homeward Bound.
"Mother Nature needs her daughters," said Dattner, an Australian entrepreneur and leadership coach.

LOL!
Waiting for this bunch of losers to hook up with the bunch on “Continent 7” TV show also in search of climate change data.
“The Thing” just lost her presidential race and will now attack any (and all) who were against her with a vengeance worse than a 10 year period.
Wow. The headline is right out of Pravda from the 1960s.

They came pretty close to doing that already with the terrible 2010(?) prequel, where Kurt Russell's character is replaced by a 20-something girl (who is inexplicably smarter, braver, tougher, and more rational than every single man on the base, who are all either corrupt, stupid, irrationally paralyzed with fear, or cowardly). I turned the movie off about halfway through, a reminder of why I usually don't watch remakes, sequels, or prequels of older movies that I enjoyed.
You clearly are sexist. Would require more than 20 days.
Blood on the snow.
That picture was taken in July in Yosemite National Park.
Discriminatory
Sexist
No diversity of ideas
Well, at least someone told this group of scientists when summer is in Antarctica.
Great story, 21. It sounds like she’s inherited some good strong genes there ;)
...from inviting/identifying its way into this ALL Alphafem Glacier party?
Didn’t the Sherpas do a cleanup of the corpses a while ago?

This will be the largest collection of nipples panging up in one place in history.
What a waste of time given climate change is nothing but a money making globalist scam.
He’s there to carry the equipment.
