World record breaking polar explorer Ann Daniels is an inspiration to those who hear her speak. Her warmth and honesty make her presentations compelling and her positivity, grit and determination illustrate what can be achieved by the many and not the few.

Ann is one of the world's leading female polar explorers, and was part of the first British all women's team to walk to the South Pole and the first all women's team in the world to walk to both poles. She also leads teams of men and women on last degree expeditions to the North and South Poles.

In 2000 Ann and four other women became the first all British women's team to reach the South Pole on foot. Pulling sledges weighing over 140 lbs and navigating by the sun the team travelled 700 miles across Antarctica, the most inhospitable continent in the world.
