Episode 2: Preet Chandi

Preet Chandi, known to many as Polar Preet, is a British physiotherapist and retired Army officer who has quietly rewritten the record books. In January 2023, she completed the longest solo unsupported one-way polar ski journey ever recorded, breaking not one but two Guinness World Records in the process - becoming the first person of any gender to hold that title outright. An SES Honorary Award winner and member of the SES Advisory Board, Preet's story is one of extraordinary determination: a first-generation British Asian woman who found her calling in some of the coldest, most unforgiving places on the planet.

 

In this episode, she joins SES Chair Peter Felix for a conversation about what it really takes to push beyond the edge of the possible - and why she's far from finished.
