I've been following this woman's adventure. If she completes it, she'll be the first human to ski solo using only muscle power across Antarctica. Pretty amazing.

She started 43 days ago and has skied about 655 miles.

LOL, I've never had any reason or want to jump out of a perfectly good running airplane! But those shots were pretty amazing!

You only live once - enjoy it for all you can - but be safe.. RATHER THAN SORRY!!

Some (many) of those 'stunts' were outright dangerous for sure. But oh.. what a rush just watching them 'soar'!!

Credit to the people performing but the camera/edit work is what makes this so amazing.
