Women at the Bottom of the World

Jane Willenbring was first to blow the whistle on sexual harassment and assault in Antarctica. Years later, women are still coming forward with tales of horror as a government investigation unfold.

Hi, I’ve been working on this investigative feature for WIRED for over a year, and it’s finally out. It’s about the women who came to Antarctica for science, and the predators who emerged. A congressional investigation is still unfolding. Thanks to WIRED senior research editor Meghan Herbst for additional reporting.
