Ann Daniels

Ann is the first woman in history, along with teammate Caroline Hamilton, to reach the North Pole and the South Pole as members of all-women teams.

She is among the very few people in the world who have walked to both the North and South Geographical poles.

Ann’s polar expedition career started in 1996. Although she had no previous outdoor experience and was a mother of 18-month-old triplets, she beat off over 200 other women on a tough Dartmoor selection weekend to join the first team of the McVities Penguin Polar Relay.

Ann has led three major scientific expeditions on the Arctic Ocean, working with scientists to understand better the problems facing the fragile Arctic Ocean.
