An all-female group of firefighters will be embarking on a gruelling 1,180 mile journey across Antarctica as they hope to inspire the next generation of women firefighters.
Speaking to Scottish presenter Lorraine Kelly this morning, Georgina Gilbert and Rebecca Rowe discussed their intense training schedule, travelling to different countries to experience all-weathers, and the mentality required for a trek like this.
Georgina feels that the complete shift in temperatures has shown them the possibilities are endless for women everywhere, saying: "It’s totally another level, as firefighters we are used to heat and smoke and things like that, but now we are putting ourselves into a completely different environment.
