Cape Town: Dutch actress and adventurer Manon ‘Tractor Girl’ Ossevoort arrived at the South Pole on Tuesday after chugging along on a tractor from Europe through Africa and across the frozen wastes of Antarctica.
“It’s quite emotional, I'm very happy,” Ossevoort said by satellite telephone shortly after arriving at the Pole and fulfilling a decade-long dream.
“It feels quite magical really, to have made this happen and arrived here!” The ebullient new mother of a 10-month-old baby said the 16-day, 2,500 kilometre trip across the largest single mass of ice on earth from Russia’s Novo base to the Pole had been tough.
