Polar skier breaks world record
A Montreal woman has broken the world record in skiing solo to the South Pole.
Is it fair to call her an explorer, as the headline does? I don’t doubt it was a major physical feat, but there’s no mention of data collection or scientific documentation, only the fact of getting it done quickly.

Le Courier du Sud, which is the ESTABLISHED AUTHORITY on these things, says she’s from Longueuil.

I have no problem calling her an explorer. Her website lists quite a few expeditions that include film making, documentaries, writing, etc.

Fair enough, Blork. Thanks.
