About this listen

Ingrid Christensen was a remarkable explorer of courage, humor, and unwavering determination, who left an indelible mark on Antarctic exploration. In fact, she was the first woman in recorded history to see Antarctica, set foot on mainland Antarctica, & fly over Antarctica.


In the early 19th century, a woman named Thuridur Einarsdottir defied societal norms to become a trailblazing figure in Iceland's maritime history. On her resume, she boasts fisherwoman, sea captain, & AMATEUR DETECTIVE, amongst many other impressive titles, all of which speak to her resilience & grit.
