Harpreet Chandi Prepares for Historic Solo Trek to the North Pole

The British Army captain and record-breaking adventurer aims to become the first woman to complete the unsupported journey across shifting Arctic sea ice.

Harpreet Chandi, known as Polar Preet, plans to embark on a 500-mile solo, unsupported trek to the North Pole in March 2025, a feat never before achieved by a woman.
The expedition will involve extreme challenges, including temperatures as low as -50°C, shifting sea ice, and potential encounters with polar bears.
Chandi, a decorated British Army officer, has previously set multiple polar records, including the longest solo, unsupported polar ski expedition and the female speed record to the South Pole.
The journey will require intense physical preparation, including gaining 15kg of muscle and fat to endure the grueling conditions and pull a heavy sled over rough ice.
Chandi views the attempt as an opportunity to inspire others to push boundaries, emphasizing the importance of trying even when success is uncertain.
