CBSN
London — This is a story about a remarkable journey to one of Earth's most extreme places, and it all started with a simple Google search. A British woman named Preet Chandi recently skied, alone, to the South Pole, making history not by being the fastest to achieve the feat, but by being a trailblazer in another way.
CBS News correspondent Roxana Saberi met Chandi — or "Polar Preet," as she calls herself now — and found out why her story is inspiring people all over the world.
For Chandi, breaking the glass ceiling started with the ice under her feet.

Mount Etna, the rambunctious volcano on the Italian island of Sicily, grumbled back to life on Monday, spewing hot ash and lava in a pyroclastic flow, the nation's volcano monitoring body said. There was no immediate report of any risk to the local population, which is accustomed to Etna's frequent eruptions, or to air travel.
