British Sikh woman army officer

Captain Harpreet Chandi, an Indian-origin British Sikh army officer has completed her solo expedition to the South Pole. In doing so, she has become the first woman of colour to achieve this feat. The 32-year-old officer, who is also a physiotherapist, began her journey on November 24, 2021.

Chandi announced her achievement on her live blog by the name the Polar Preet. On Monday, January 3, 2022, after traveling 700 miles without any support, she travelled the distance within merely 40 days.

Captain Chandi’s reaction

Her post from day 40 expressed her feelings related to the expedition. There was a time when Chandi didn’t know anything about the polar world but later got interested in that and ever since then she had been preparing. For her, the expedition meant much more than just herself. She wishes to encourage people to push their boundaries, believe in themselves and to not worry about any labels.

She shared how many a times, she has been told to be normal. She believes that every individual creates their own normal and is capable of anything they wish for. Captain Chandi wishes to smash the glass ceiling into a million pieces, and she is succeeding very well indeed.

Her preparation

Captain Preet Chandi spent more than two and a half year preparing for her expedition. She trained in the Frensh Alps, trekked through Iceland’s Langjökull Glacier and spent 27 days on Greenland’s ice top. To simulate pulling a sled, she dragged a heavy tire behind her back when she was in England.

Her journey included travelling 700 miles while towing a pulk or sledge with all of her belongings and facing temperatures as low as – 50 degrees Celsius and winds of up to 60 miles per hour. She did all of this without any support.

Captain Chandi hopes that her feat will inspire others and something similar will keep happening year after year.
