The astonishing journey of solo-adventurer Lisa Blair as she embarks on her voyage to be the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.
Equal parts ambitious and treacherous, this trip has only ever been completed twice before in history and Lisa’s goal is to break the current record for speed.
Confidently conquering the most perilous parts of the journey, Lisa’s confidence in her success grows. But her instincts tell her that no amount of preparation can guarantee her safe return.
When life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs to dig into every ounce of courage and skill that she has to survive the most dangerous waters on the planet.
“Ice Maiden is so much more than a documentary. Lisa is at the edge of the world, battling impossible conditions and you’re on the edge of your seat as you watch.” – IMDB
