Donna is an Australian ultra-marathon runner, pain scientist and physiotherapist.
In 2024, she set a World Record for the longest run in a polar region – running 1402km (871 miles) in Antarctica, the coldest, windiest and driest desert on earth.
Donna ran 50 kms (31 miles) per day for 28 days, enduring temperatures of -20°C (-4° F), winds of up to 80 km/hr (50 miles/hr) and poor visibility. To prepare for the attempt, she ran in a refrigerated shipping container, industrial wind tunnel and along sandy beaches for up to 6 hours at a time.
Donna and the Run Antarctica team used the World Record run to raise awareness about the important and ongoing need to educate and empower females to be active and involved in sport. The campaign reached 950 million people worldwide with over 1000 media publications and has led to the establishment of a not-for-profit organization, EmpowerHer Sport.
Donna is currently based at Monash University in her position as an Associate Professor and pain scientist. Donna has worked in the field of pain for over 25 years, publishing 150 publications, securing national competitive funding across 2 decades and serving on international editorial and grant committees.

Donna lives with her family in Melbourne, Australia and they love spending time together playing, coaching and watching sport.

Antarctica Group Tour Discounts
As with most things in life, buying in bulk can bring big savings, and Antarctica cruises are no different, with operators often keen to give away group travel discounts to fill cabin inventory quickly, especially closer to departure.
If you are planning to travel to Antarctica with a large group of friends, society members, colleagues, your extended family, or indeed with other families, please contact our Antarctica specialists to see if any discounts may be available for your group, as these often vary by group size and departure, and are at the discretion of the operator on a case-by-case basis.
How Much Can I Save?
Typically the largest savings are found by booking ten or more months in advance of the upcoming season, with operators often offering early booking incentives of around $1,000 – $1,500 per person (approximately 25% – 35% off), with discounts reducing the closer you get to a departure.
Occasionally you may see considerably higher markdowns on rare occasions when private charters cancel their sailings last minute.
A Note On Antarctica Last Minute Deals From Ushuaia
Insouciant travelers have been known to hang around the port of Ushuaia, Argentina, in the hope of “hitchhiking” to the Antarctic Peninsula in any old unsold cabin for a bargain price. Whilst technically possible, we would advise against this as your choices will be seriously limited and you could end up waiting around indefinitely.
Should you wish to chance your luck finding a last minute Antarctica cruise from Ushuaia, early or late season (November or March) is your best bet.
