The woman who battled -50°C and whiteouts to break polar world records: Preet Chandi S3:E6

The woman who battled -50°C and whiteouts to break polar world records: Preet Chandi S3:E6

In 2022, Preet Chandi MBE became the first woman of colour to complete a solo, unsupported expedition to the South Pole, covering 700 miles in just 40 days. And that wasn’t the only world record she would go on to break. But these achievements are more than just personal milestones – they’re a powerful challenge to long-held ideas about who belongs in the world of extreme exploration. In this episode, I speak with the British physiotherapist and Army officer about what it took to prepare for one of the harshest environments on Earth – from dragging a tractor tyre through the streets of her hometown in Derby, England, to enduring whiteouts, isolation and temperatures below -50°C in Antarctica. But the toughest battles weren’t only physical. ‘Polar Preet’ opens up about navigating cultural expectations, pushing through moments of fear and failure, and finding strength in the belief that her journey could inspire others to dream bigger.
