Hannah McKeand was born in Bristol in 1973. She got a degree in Classics at Lampeter University. After working as a marketing manager, she decided at the age of 31 to devote herself entirely to her primary passions (热情), exploring, adventure and the outdoors. She would take part in various expeditions (探险), in the Egyptian desert first, then in the remote valleys of northeast of Afghanistan, and then in Antarctica.
In 2001 her urge to explore began to develop with a trip to the Western desert on the borders of Egypt, Libya and Sudan in search of prehistoric rock art. This trip took Hannah to the center of the second biggest wilderness on the planet, an uninhabited (无人居住的) area the size of India.
In 2004 Hannah joined a British expedition to explore the Wakhan Corridor in the northeast of Afghanistan in search of the source of the River Oxus. The upper (上部的) areas of this mountain valley had rarely been visited by Westerners.
Later that year Hannah turned to a cold desert in a 56-day expedition from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole. Crossing one of the harshest (最严酷的) environments in the world, the team of five battled with physical and mental exhaustion, injury, hunger and some of the lowest temperatures on earth.
In 2006 Hannah returned to Antarctica and once again skied from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole, but this time alone and unsupported. She set a new world record for the journey of 39 days 9 hours and 33 minutes.
In October 2007 Hannah began her first full adventure season traveling from Australia across to Chile and from there around Cape Horn and down to Antarctica.
Hannah hopes that by writing and speaking about her experiences in the world and sharing them with those who care to read or listen, she will inspire people to go after their own dreams and achieve their own goals.
汉娜·麦基兰德1973年出生于布里斯托尔。她在兰彼得大学获得了古典文学学位。在做了一份市场经理的工作后,她在31岁的时候决定把自己完全投入到她的主要爱好(热情),探索,冒险和户外活动。她会参加各种各样的探险(探险),首先在埃及沙漠,然后在阿富汗东北部的偏远山谷,然后在南极洲。
2001年,为了寻找史前岩石艺术,她前往埃及、利比亚和苏丹边境的西部沙漠,开始了探索的冲动。这次旅行把汉娜带到了地球上第二大荒野的中心,一个无人居住的地区(无人居住的),面积与印度相当。
2004年,汉娜加入了一支英国探险队,探索阿富汗东北部的瓦罕走廊,寻找奥克苏斯河的源头。这个山谷的上游(上部的)地区很少有西方人去过。
那年晚些时候,汉娜在从南极洲海岸到南极的一次为期56天的探险中转向了一个寒冷的沙漠。穿越世界上最恶劣的环境之一(最严酷的),五人团队与身心疲惫、受伤、饥饿和地球上最低的温度作斗争。
2006年,汉娜回到南极洲,再次从大力神湾滑雪到南极点,但这次是独自一人,没有人支持。她以39天9小时33分钟的旅程创造了新的世界纪录。
2007年10月,汉娜开始了她的第一个完整的冒险之旅,从澳大利亚穿越到智利,从那里绕过合恩角,向下到达南极洲。
汉娜希望通过写作和讲述她在这个世界上的经历,并与那些愿意阅读或倾听的人分享,她将激励人们追求自己的梦想,实现自己的目标。
