Ann Daniels

Exploration
Explorer

Polar Explorer Ann Daniels is a world record holder and one of Britain’s leading explorers. Starting out as a mother of young triplets and without any outdoor experience, pure hard work and belief led her to being selected from over 200 more experienced women to take part in her first North Pole expedition. From these humble beginnings, she went on to conquer the South Pole and in 2002, along with her teammate Caroline Hamilton became the first and only women in history to ski to the North and South Poles as part of all women teams.

She is a Polar guide and was the ice leader of three major scientific Arctic expeditions working and surviving 170 days on the moving Arctic Sea ice.

She has worked with NASA, The European Space Agency and many scientific institutions globally, tracking and measuring ice and collecting data at the extreme ends of the planet, to help understand the environmental impact humans are having on the world.
