In 2010 the mountaineer Lionel Daudet and the navigator Isabelle Autissier set off on a journey across the sea and mountains of the Antarctic Peninsular. In order to fulfil their project, the protagonists, joined by two mountaineers and two sailors, launched themselves into an incredible adventure on board the ADA, Isabelle’s sailing ship. With unclimbed peaks, extreme climatic conditions and navigation around Cape Horn, the expedition turned out to be demanding but particularly exciting.
