Ingrid Christensen was a Norwegian explorer, thought to be among the first women to view Antarctica in the 1930s. She also had part of the coast named after her.

American Lois Jones led the first all-women team of scientists to the icy continent in 1969.

In-Young Ahn is the first South Korean woman to visit Antarctica and the first Asian woman to lead an Antarctic station.

These are just three women whose Wikipedia profiles have been updated or written for the first time as part of a project aimed at raising awareness about women scientists in Antarctica.
