Australian woman completes record Antarctic run

An Australian woman Donna Urquhart has set a new world record for the longest run in a polar region after completing an ultramarathon in Antarctica.
On Friday, she crossed the finish line on a 1,312-kilometer run that started on 15th December. She ran up to 60 km each day in temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius in an attempt to set a new world record, beating the previous record of 1,198 km over 19 days set by fellow Australian Pat Farmer.
Donna Urquhart trained for the attempt by running in a refrigerated container to prepare for the Antarctic conditions. The attempt took place at Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica and is south of Chile.
