Cycling to the South Pole: A World First

It had been proved impossible, but 
on December 27, 2013, Maria Leijerstam 
from Great Britain became the first person 
in the world to cycle to the South Pole. 
For four years, Maria fought against every 
obstacle. How was she going to fund this 
mission? What was the best cycle for the 
job? Would this ordinary woman be fit 
and strong enough to fulfil her dream, 
especially with strong male competition 
from around the world? 
Maria writes from her heart and reveals 
a world of adventure that is accessible to 
everyone who has a dream.
