Great Explorers Today Ann Bancroft In 1986 she became the first woman to reach the North Pole on foot and by sled. It took the team of six 65 days to get there. She was also the first woman to cross both polar ice caps to reach the North and South Poles, as well as the first woman to ski across Greenland. In 1993, Bancroft led the first all-female expedition to cross the ice to the South Pole. They travelled on skis. In 2001, Ann and a Norwegian adventurer called Liv Arnesen became the first women to ski across Antarctica.
Great Explorers Today Ranulph Fiennes Between 1979 and 1982, Ranulph Fiennes and another explorer, Charles Burton, were the first people to travel all the way around the world through both the North and South Poles without flying. In 1993, he and Dr Mike Stroud were the first to completely cross Antarctica on foot. In 2009, when he was 65, he climbed Mount Everest. He is the only person to have been to both poles and also climbed Mount Everest.
