A Dutch actress travelled 2,500 kilometres across Antarctica and reached the South Pole in a tractor. People know her as “the tractor girl.”
一個荷蘭籍女演員開著牽引機在南極洲穿越2500公里抵達南極。人們都叫她”那個牽引機女孩”

There were some problems on the way, but everybody arrived only two days after their target date. They took advantage of the 24-hour sunlight, and made up for lost time by driving non-stop for over a week.
儘管路上有些麻煩，但所有人還是在預定時間後兩天內抵達。他們利用永晝的時間不眠不休的趕路一整個禮拜來彌補之前損失的時間。

Reaching the South Pole is only part of a much longer journey. The tractor girl left her home in Holland in 2005 and drove through Europe and Africa and arrived at Cape Town.
抵達南極點只是這趟旅行中的一部分而已。牽引機女孩在2005年離開她在荷蘭的家鄉一路上穿越歐洲與非洲抵達開普敦。
