Expeditions
2007
2007 Rosie Stancer Mars North Pole Solo Royal Patron HRH The Prince of Wales In aid of Special Olympics GB.
In 2007, Rosie got significantly farther than any previous attempts by women to reach the North Pole solo, trekking alone for 84 days over the surface of the frozen Arctic Ocean before being airlifted from the ice just 89 nautical miles short of the North Pole. Her achievement was all the more heroic if you consider that conditions during the 2007 season were some of the worst on record.
2003/2004
Snickers South Pole Solo
Royal Patron HRH The Prince of Wales
In aid of Special Olympics GB
Rosie skied solo and without resupply to the South Pole. Hauling a sledge more than twice her body weight for over 1000 km, Rosie reached the Pole in 43 days 23 hours, smashing all previous years’ speed records by 7 days. Most expeditions take 60 days. During the expedition Rosie gathered both meteorological and physiological data.
1999/2000
M&G ISA South Pole Expedition
Royal Patron HRH The Prince of Wales
In aid of Special Olympics GB
Rosie and four other women became the first British women to walk unguided to the South Pole. Together, they planned, researched and trained for the expedition. Meteorological data was gathered on route and submitted to the Omega Foundation. This was the team’s second first for Great Britain.
1996/1997
McVities All Women’s Penguin Polar Relay In aid of St John’s Ambulance
The first step in her polar career, Rosie joined 19 other women in an audacious challenge to ski to the North Pole. Together with 2 female guides, they relayed across the Arctic ocean. Determination, resourcefulness and teamwork saw them overcome the arctic hazards and their polar inexperience to become the first all-female team to reach the North Pole. It was a first for Great Britain.
“Being macho in this business can kill you. Sensitivity, care, humility, respect and sacrifice are the important qualities.” – Robert Swan, British polar explorer and environmentalist
