We have an amazing chat to a women trying to do a world first. Ella Hibbert is embarking on a record-setting, never been done before, solo and non-stop Arctic Circumnavigation - a feat that has long been considered impossible. Ella's goal is to raise to raise awareness about the challenges the Arctic is facing due to the effects of global warming on the polar north. She is raising awareness and money for the charities Polar Bears International and Ocean Conservancy, to support them in their work to help protect the future of the Arctic. She is hoping to go in June and we a right there with her. We think you will be as well after this Ep.
