Meher Moos, first Indian woman to visit Antarctic, has visited over 180 countriesMeher Moos is a 70-year-old Indian traveler from Mumbai.

In the last 50 years, she has visited as many as 180 countries
 	She has a bundle of over 18 passports which have been filled in over these years!
 	She started in 1965 at the age of 20 years when she joined Air India as a flight attendant
 	That job helped her to fly to several places of the world - a passion she continued for many years after too.

One of her most thrilling travel was to the South Pole, Antarctica in 1976.

She became the first Indian woman to go there when she joined explorer, Lars Eric Lindblad, on his ship to Antarctica
 	Antarctica is also called “the white continent”
 	Almost all of the region is covered by ice
 	It is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on earth with the cleanest air in the world.

Meher shares that travellers should do detailed research about the place they are going to visit. She also adds that it is important to be respectful towards the people, culture and customs of that place.
