The world's first woman explorer to reach the Arctic, Antarctic and Mount Everest, Dr. Lee has made 18 expeditions to the poles and four ventures to Mount Everest. In doing so, she has made immense contributions to polar exploration and research. She is the director of the Polar Museum Foundation which she founded in 1997. Dr. Lee will donate a valuable collection of objects she gathered during her field work in the 'three poles' to the Jockey Club Museum of Climate Change, to be set up by CUHK.
