A Record Breaking Challenge
In February 2013 Rosie Stancer will make a bid to be the first woman to walk to the North Pole solo.
She will fly to Resolute Bay on the northern tip of Canada and set off on her epic journey across the frozen, shifting Arctic Ocean.
The expedition is expected to take some 60-70 days.
The North Pole is the axis of the earth’s rotation where all lines of longitude and time zones converge. It lies on floating pack ice in the middle of the arctic ocean 415 nautical miles from Canada.
This endeavour is a mental and physical challenge of the greatest possible order. In reaching the Pole and realising her dream, Rosie hopes to demonstrate to others that their goals, however daunting, can be achieved.
Rosie will be spurred on by the expediton’s charity, Special Olympics GB, for whom she is raising funds and awareness.
