Antarctic Odyssey
On 15 January 2010, Meagan became the
First Canadian (male or female) to ski solo, unassisted and unsupported,
to the South Pole. Meagan travelled over 1095km for 40 days, hauling
a sled that weighed just over 200lbs. It was uphill all the way,
and the most challenging aspect of the expedition was the monotony
of the daily routine.
She faced feirce storms, terribly cold temperatures, whiteouts and crevasses.
This was Meagan's first major polar expedition - and hopefully, not her last!!
She already has a couple ideas for other significant polar expeditions!
