Kryzwonos interrogates the heroic narratives of male exploration

land through feminine tropes. Might these characterizations, borne

culture they come from than about the land they describe? What
would happen, Stephanie asks, if we moved beyond fantasies and
savior complexes, and instead approached Antarctica as a living
place with agency? Read this story. Explore more stories from
