Freedom to roam (1970)

Sarah McNair-Landry is the winner of the first 21st Century Adventurer Award. Her homeland Baffin Island shaped her early on and made her the polar expert she is today. The now 33-year-old was the youngest person to ever reach both polar caps under her own steam. She has already completed five Greenland crossings and is also the first woman to be appointed Master Polar Guide.
