Jamaican pulls out of Women`s Antarctic Expedition

We received a press release today that Jamaican Kim Marie Spence has pulled out of The Kaspersky Lab Commonwealth Women`s Antarctic Expedition due to frostbite in her fingers. We congratulate her for being one of the 8 women selected and wish her a speedy recovery. Here is an interview we did with her a few months back.
