Sarah McNair-Landry

ARCTIC ADVENTURER & EXPLORER

Born and raised on Canada's Baffin Island, Sarah comes from a family of Arctic enthusiasts. At age 18, she became the youngest person ever to ski to the South Pole (with her brother, Eric, then 20). Since then she's trekked across the Arctic Ocean and 1,430 miles of the Greenland Ice Cap (equivalent to the distance from Boston to Miami), kite surfed to some amazing destinations, and even raced a dog sled team to the North Pole against members of the BBC’s “Top Gear” team in an attempt to prove that traditional Arctic transport often beats modern technology.

Sarah's latest epic artic adventure is kite-surfing the Northwest Passage, a distance of more than 3,000 km.  Together with her brother Eric the two are re-tracing the first successful route through the Passage.  Pioneered in 1906 by famed Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen, the expedition was first successful navigation of a route through from the Atlantic to the Pacific north of Canada.

In addition to leading some daring expeditions, Sarah is a National Geographic Young Explorers grantee and budding documentary filmmaker.
