This is the updated Second Edition of the book 'Cycling to the South Pole'. It contains extended historical content and an additional chapter celebrating Maria's 10-year anniversary. It also includes unseen colour photographs from the expedition.

It had been deemed impossible, but British woman Maria Leijerstam made history on December 27, 2013, by becoming the first person in the world to cycle to the South Pole from the edge of the Antarctic continent. Simultaneously, she set a second world record for the fastest human-powered coast-to-South Pole traverse.

For four years, Maria fought against every obstacle. How would she fund the mission? What was the best cycle for the job? Would this ordinary woman be fit and strong enough to fulfil her dream, especially in the face of strong male competition from around the world?

Authentic and heartfelt, Maria's narrative transcends a mere adventure tale. It is a testament to the power of dreams and the extraordinary feats achievable by anyone who dares to believe in them.
