Finally! After seven days of preparation and 8 Covid tests we finally took off to Union Glacier in Antarctica aboard a Boeing 757 (and not the Ilyushin that was originally planned).

It’s hard to fathom how this massive plane will land on the blue ice runway! 45 min before landing they will bring the temperature to zero C – 32F so that we can start dressing for the -20c that we are expecting upon exiting the plane.

On board:

🤩 Ryan Walters: The first explorer to truly cross Antarctica solo and without assistance (a way more impressive feat that the super hyped one of Colin Brady) Ryan is super humble and simple but he is the real thing and he is my guide! He is THE Antarctica expert so I am in good hands 👊🤩 🙏

An apparently super famous extreme skiing couple, who are so nice, smiling and simple that’s refreshing in this world that’s becoming more about how big your ego is than about how good you simply are😊🙏

👑 A princess who looks adorable but tired or sad I cannot tell

🏔Nims who completed the 14 highest peaks in the world in 6 months and who is the star of Netflix new documentary “14 Peaks”

And other impressive profiles….and me 🥳🤣

My record? To be the first Corsican in Antarctica 😅😂🤣 Forzaaaa
