Ginny Fiennes

from £1,200.00

In 1972, Lady Virginia “Ginny” Fiennes drew a red crayon line around an old 6-inch tin globe from her school days to plot a route from London, over the North Pole, down to the South Pole, and back, aiming to circumnavigate the world along its vertical axis. This became the blueprint for the successful Transglobe expedition, 1979-’82. She was the first woman to receive the Polar Medal.

Printed on Hahnemühle archival 308gsm Photorag paper.
