Note on the Author: Lucia Simion (to the right, with Floryse Grimaud, Head of the Press Office at Belin's Publishing House in Paris).Lucia Sala Simion was raised and educated in Italy and France, so she feel she belongs to both countries. She grew up in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a stone’s throw from the house of Commander Jean-Baptiste Charcot, Antarctic and Arctic explorer. The Gentleman of the Poles. After getting a degree in Medecine, Lucia became a Science journalist as well as a Photojournalist. She has taken part in 8 expeditions to Antarctica (3 to Dome C-Concordia, to cover the building of the french-italian station and the EPICA Project).
She just came back from The Ice, where she was deployed to cover the ANDRILL SMS project, at Scott base and McMurdo, on Ross Island. She has been to the Italian station Mario Zucchelli and back to CONCORDIA as well. Her dream is to make a winter-over in Antarctica. (Photo: Flore Goldhaber)
