In 1935, Caroline Mikkelsen, wife of a Norwegian whaling captain, became the first known woman to set foot, briefly, in Antarctica—but not the first person. A man had stepped onto the continent more than a hundred years earlier, and men had begun the "heroic era" of Antarctic exploration decades before.
