Description
Cycling to the South Pole: A World First
In 2013, Maria Leijerstam became the first person in the world to cycle to the South Pole from the edge of the Antarctic continent. She achieved this remarkable feat in just over 10 days, setting a second world record for the fastest human-powered coast-to-South-Pole traverse.
This incredible journey was the culmination of four years of planning, training and preparation. Maria's determination and perseverance were put to the test as she pushed through extreme mental and physical barriers. Her achievement is a testament to her strength and resilience.
