A British explorer had a special reason to enjoy a White Christmas on Thursday as she led her two male rivals in a challenge to become the first person to cycle to the South Pole.
Maria Leijerstam, 35, from the Vale of Glamorgan, is ahead of American Daniel Burton and Spaniard Juan Menendez Granados in the race. Since setting off on December 16 on specially adapted four-wheeled recumbent cycle she has endured whiteouts, 100mph winds and temperatures falling to 40°C. Now she only has a final dash across the polar plateau in front of here and is expected to reach the pole within the next two days. She is in limited contact with home but reported on Christmas Eve that it was a "Tough day with knee pain and sticky snow! 159k to go. Wishing I was with family."
