In 1914, when British explorer Ernest Shackleton was recruiting for an expedition to #Antarctica, he got letters from “three sporty girls” applying to join. “There are no vacancies for the opposite sex on this expedition,” he responded. Twenty-one years later, Caroline Mikkelsen became the first woman in recorded history to set foot on one of Antarctica's islands. Since then—even as many researchers have noted Antarctica was (and remains) a masculine realm in popular imagination—the gender dynamic there has continued to shift, with more and more #women taking roles as base commanders, expedition leaders, heavy equipment operators, scientists and researchers. On this #internationalwomensday, photographer @acacia.johnson, who as a guide has made 32 expeditions there, introduces us to some of the women she has met working on the continent. "Breaking down gender stereotypes is an ongoing process, in Antarctica as everywhere else, but we're making good progress, and it's inspiring to be a part of," she tells TIME. "We've come a long way—women are now overtaking men in some areas, which is incredible—but that doesn't mean we should lose sight of how far we still have to go regarding diversity.” In these photographs: Jiayi Zhao, an actress and dancer from #Beijing who works as a Mandarin translator and expedition guide; "Jill" Lei Yin, an expedition guide and Mandarin translator also from Beijing; and expedition guide Françoise Gervais, from Québec.
