Dr. Rachel Smith is a medical doctor and a pioneering mountaineer from Belfast.
At just 28, Rachel is aiming to make history as the first woman with Type 1 Diabetes to summit Mt. Vinson, Antarctica's highest peak.
Diagnosed just before her third birthday, Rachel was the first child in Northern Ireland to use an insulin pump and has since conquered the highest peaks in South America, Africa, and Australia.
She's now preparing to endure two weeks in Antarctica's extreme conditions while attempting to climb her fourth summit of the Seven Summits.
