1、2022年世界上第一位独自穿越南极的女性：我的孤独之旅 When Felicity Aston started smelling fish and chips， she knew something was wrong. She must be hallucinating. After all， there are no pubs in the middle of Antarctica. The British explorer was skiing solo across the great frozen continent and had not seen another human be

3、 first woman in the world to make it solo. Despite being a seasoned explorerAston previously led a team to the South Pole; raced across Arctic Canada and traversed the inland ice of Greenland this was her first solo expedition. She says she has never felt so alone. Being alone in Antarctic means bei

Among the many physical impacts this environment has on the bodyexhaustion， malnutrition， frostbite， cramps， sunburnone of th
5、e most serious is hypothermia. Among polar explorers， hypothermia is known as “the silent killer” because its first symptom is a progressive inability to think clearly， recognize the problem and do something about it. “The first warning signal of hypothermia is abnormal behaviorbeing very quiet， con
6、fused， incoherent，” Aston explained. These are things that other members of an expedition pick up on， but， in a team of one， theres no one else to raise the red flag. “If youre alone， you have to make sure that if something goes wrong you can get out of it，” she said. “I had to always make sure that
7、 I would be able to put up a tent and look after myself at the end of each day.” Thats why Aston constantly wiggled her fingers， to make sure they werent becoming numb， as the inability to use her hands would have been fatal. Despite the endless physical dangers， Aston says the real challenge is win
8、ning the mental battle with solitude. “It became the biggest struggle of the whole trip，” she said. “Every single morning， the first thing that struck me was， Oh my goodness， I cant do this， I dont want to be here， Ive made a terrible mistake.” After 40 days， Aston says she started noticing changes.
9、 “I realized I would go a whole day and really not think about anything at all. My head was completely empty，” she said. Hallucinations and strange sensations came next. “The sun became really important to me，” she added. During the polar summer， the sun circles in the sky， never going down. It beca

While bodily functions dont make the difference， its the attitude that sets men and women apart. Aston says that even the most experienc
11、ed women tend to suffer from a lack of self confidence and sense of vulnerability. “When I take groups of women out into the cold environment， they are a lot more unsure， their default position is I cant do this，” she said. Her job then becomes to convince them about the opposite. With men， its diff
12、erent. “Usually theyll fling themselves at it and their default position is I already know how to do this， I know exactly how to do this， and its a matter of bringing them in and telling them that they need to think more and watch out for certain things.” After days of skiing alone， in extreme cold，
13、 these differences between men and women disappear. Apart from one， which Aston has yet to find a solution to： going to the toilet. “Its the only time in my life Ive ever wanted to be a man，” Aston said. 当菲丽希迪阿斯顿起先闻到鱼和炸薯条的香味时，她知道坏事了。她知道肯定是产生幻觉了，终归在南极洲的腹地是不行能有酒吧的。这位英国探险家正独自滑雪穿越这块冰冻的大陆，她已经几个星期没有见过任何人了
14、。阿斯顿说：“在一成天的时间里我似乎是在滑过一长排炸鱼店和薯条店，这种感觉让我发疯。”她说，她不停地扭动手指和脚趾检查自己是否体温过低，她咬着牙，坚持前进，最终用时59天穿越南极大陆成为世界上第一位独自滑雪穿越南极洲的女性。尽管作为一名有阅历的探险家阿斯顿曾带领一支探险队到达过南极，穿越过加拿大的北极圈和冰天雪地的格陵兰内陆但这是她第一次单独探险，她说她从未感到如此孤独。 孤身一人穿越南极意味着时刻须要保持高度的警觉。每前进一步都有危急：可能会遇见冰川裂缝、短暂失明、悬崖峭壁;零下四十摄氏度的气温，风速似飓风的大风。这样的环境带给人体众多影响：乏累不堪、养分不良、冻伤、痉挛以及皮肤灼伤等，其中
15、最严峻的是体温过低症。极地探险家们将体温过低称为“无声杀手”，因为它最初的症状是人思维不清，无法意识正面临的危急并实行相应措施。“体温过低最先的症状是行为异样人变得特别宁静，脑袋模糊，语无伦次。”阿斯顿说明。假如身在探险队中，这些症状队员相互是会留心的，但当孤身一人时，便没有人会帮你留意。“假如你孤身一人，就得保证出了问题你有方法解决，”她说，“我总是保证自己在每一天结束的时候能搭起帐篷来让自己好好休息。”这也是为什么阿斯顿总是扭动手指，确保手指没有被冻僵，假如她的手出了问题，结果将是致命的。 尽管会遇上数不尽的人身危急，阿斯顿说真正的挑战来自心理上的孤独。“孤独成为整个旅途中最艰难的斗争。”
16、她说，“每天早上我想到的第一件事是，哦天呐，这我做不了，我不想待在这里，我已经犯了一个可怕的错误。” 四十天之后，阿斯顿起先留意到些改变。“我意识到我会行走一成天而不会有别的想法。那时我的头脑一片空白。”她说，然后幻觉和奇异感随之而来。“太阳对我来说至关重要。”她补充道。极地的夏季，太阳始终在天空中运转，从不会落下。太阳成为阿斯顿的忠实伴侣，她也起先在早晨迎接太阳。“这种习惯使我在心里生出很多话来要对太阳说。”阿斯顿说。 由于身体方面的功能没有很大区分，将男女隊员区分开来的是看法的差异。阿斯顿说即便是最有阅历的女性也会感到自信不足和脆弱无助。“当我带着一批女队员进入寒冷的环境当中时，她们会更缺
17、乏信念，她们的先入之见是我不行。”她说。她接下来的工作就是劝服她们树立信念。而和男队员在一起时状况就不一样了。“通常他们会去努力尝试，他们通常的想法是我已经知道该怎么做，并且知道得很清晰，所以我只需把他们带来，告知他们在做某件事时要细致想一想，要当心。” 在寒冷天气独自滑雪几天后，男女队员间的差异已消逝，除了一件事。这件事阿斯顿到目前为止还没有找到一个解决方法，那就是上厕所。“这是在我人生当中唯一想当男人的时刻。”阿斯顿说。 猜你喜爱阿斯顿探险家南极南极和北极一样冷吗小学阅读指南低年级版2022-03-19小探险家小天使一年级语数英综合2022-12-16Vanquish Vision概念车汽
