Meet the team members of Canorthpole2018 expedition that pairs a group of European and Middle Eastern women to inspire them all to reach beyond the expectation of others and fulfil their own life ambitions. Their dream is to ski self supported for 10 days the last degree to The North Pole "Khashmek" is a greeting which translates to "give me working our nose", an Arabic tradition of saying hello by touching noses as a sign of respect and praise. It was clear during this portrait series taken just before the team took off that these women fully appreciate each other, something that will undoubtedly only grow during the journey ahead.
Surviving an expedition that pushes you beyond your limit with your teammates creates a fierce bond of friendship and collaboration. It's one of the most powerful forces I have ever experienced. In this case it's an even bigger metaphor for this planet and how together across nations can solve big challenges.
