In March 2007, Rosie Stancer embarked on an epic solo journey to the North Pole. When successful, she will become the first woman in the world to reach the North Pole solo. She will also be the only woman in the world to have reached both Poles solo. This will be a double world first.
Rosie flew to Ward Hunt Island on the northern tip of Canada and set off on her epic journey across the frozen arctic ocean. The expedition is expected to take some 60 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 endeavor 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 is a director for the charity Special Olympics GB, which seeks to provide sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-style events for people with learning disabilities. The charity provides continuing opportunities for people to develop their physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of skills, gifts and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. In addition to helping her charity, which currently works with 5,000 children and adults in the UK, Rosie’s expeditions have relevance to the wider community as she gathers environmental data and undertakes physiological research while on the ice.
She has been honoured to have HRH The Prince of Wales as royal expedition patron for both the M&G ISA Challenge and the Snickers South Pole Solo expeditions.
Rosie Stancer is an internationally famous polar adventurer and speaker. During the last ten years Rosie has embarked on major polar expeditions of increasing severity and commitment. Her achievements have put her into the record books for groundbreaking polar journeys.
