By Ahmad Al-Refaei KUWAIT, Oct 17 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti explorer Lamees Najim was chosen to take part in expeditions to explore the North and South Poles alongside fellow British explorer Felicity Aston.
The trip, set for next April, will include 12 female explorers from different countries, aiming to share their experiences and cultures, Najim told KUNA on Monday.
The expedition will showcase the strong will of Kuwaiti and Arab women to face challenges and survive in extreme conditions, she noted.
