Seven women from Cyprus, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar became the first people from their countries to traverse the 82km (51 miles) distance to reach the northernmost part of the world. The expedition project was launched by British polar explorer Felicity Aston as part of a bid to build dialogue and understanding between Western and Arab cultures.

The conditions proved too much for one of the group who had to be evacuated just two days into the expedition after suffering from frostbite. Qatari adventurer Asma Al Thani believes the success of the expedition will help women in the Middle Eastern nation to “believe more in themselves.”

The trip’s sponsor, Kaspersky Lab CEO Eugene Kaspersky, echoed Al Thani’s comments, saying: “The fact that many girls came from Arabic states, from south states, show that they are also capable of doing that. And this is really the heroic deed.”
