Abstract
This article describes the lessons learned from the 2023 expedition of 100 women to Antarctica as part of the Homeward Bound program, which focuses on female leadership in STEMM fields and climate change. The article explains the continent’s ecological importance, its history of exploitation, and the current threat posed by intensive krill fishing. It also outlines the international treaties used to regulate activities in Antarctica. Additionally, it highlights the continent's key role as a global climate regulator, given its ability to reflect solar radiation, drive ocean currents, and absorb CO₂.
