Ann Daniels is a world record holder and one of Britain’s top explorers. She began her journey as a mother of young triplets with no outdoor experience. Yet, she was selected from over 200 more experienced women for her first North Pole expedition.
From these humble beginnings, Ann went on to reach the South Pole. In 2002, she became one of the first women to ski to both the North and South Poles with an all-women team. That record still stands today.
She has faced extreme temperatures of -50°C, encountered polar bears, and sledged over 2,000 miles through brutal terrain. Over the course of 10 polar expeditions, she has spent more than 400 days on the ice. Through each journey, she proves the power of preparation, grit, and a positive mindset.
As a polar guide and ice leader for the Catlin Arctic surveys, Ann leads by example. She shows how teamwork, determination, and strong leadership can overcome any challenge. In addition, she has worked with NASA, the European Space Agency, and global scientists to collect vital environmental data.
Ann customizes every presentation to meet the event’s goals. She ensures her stories from the ice deliver meaningful lessons that resonate with the audience.
With more than 20 years of speaking experience, Ann connects naturally and leaves a lasting impression. She truly cares about inspiring others and helping them succeed.
