But it's going to be difficult, says the woman who planted the capsult. FMTNews SouthPole

Dr Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir with Siti Jumaidah Bensali, Salehah Abu Nor and Nurul Atiqah Tamarun, with the 2030 time capsule they had initially planned to bury in Antarctica. But Dr Sharifah Mazlina Syed Abdul Kadir, the person responsible for planting the capsule, said it would be difficult due to surface changes.

“To be honest, I think it is almost impossible for the three national ‘ice queens’ to bring home the capsule even though it is one of the main missions the expedition is undertaken,” said Sharifah of the All Women Expedition to Antarctica. The mission, which is scheduled to take place from Dec 18 to Jan 3, would include Malaysian army corporal Siti Jumaidah Bensali, 34, home ministry officer Salehah Abu Nor, 33 and pharmacist Nurul Atiqah Tamarun, 31.

On the mission to plant the 2030 time capsule delivered by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, called “Semangat Malaysia Boleh Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad”, Sharifah said the plan had to be abandoned after failing to obtain the approval of Antarctica.
