She was the first woman to successfully finish a number of arduous expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1995.[1] BiographyAnn Bancroft was born in Mendota Heights, Minnesota,[2] and grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota.[2] Bancroft spent two years in Kenya in her fifth and sixth grades.[2] Bancroft began leading wilderness expeditions when she was 8-years-old when she convinced her cousins to join her on backyard expeditions.[2] She described her family as one of risk takers. Bancroft struggled with dyslexia from an early age, but she nevertheless graduated High School and was accepted at the University of Oregon where she graduated with a Physical Education Degree in 1981.[3][4] Bancroft was a camper and staff member at YMCA Camp Widjiwagan in Ely, MN.[5] Bancroft also taught Physical Education and Special Education in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota.[2] Bancroft became a wilderness instructor and a gym teacher in Minneapolis (at Clara Barton Open School) and St. Paul. Ann Bancroft founded the Ann Bancroft Foundation in 1991.[2] The Ann Bancroft foundation supports the Wilderness Inquiry group and Bancroft currently teaches at Wilderness Inquiry.[6][12] The Wilderness Inquiry group allows individuals and families to go on outdoor adventures, and the adventures are open to people of all ability levels. Bancroft currently co-owns an exploration company, Bancroft Arnesen Explore,[7] with Liv Arnesen. Bancroft has been on expeditions on the Ganges River in India, crossed Greenland, traveled to the North Pole, and crossed the South Pole. ExpeditionsBancroft gave up her physical education and special education teaching posts in 1986 in order to participate with the "Will Steger International North Pole Expedition". She arrived at the North Pole together with five other team members after 56 days using dogsleds.[8] This made Bancroft the first woman to reach the North Pole on foot and by sled. She was also the first woman to cross both polar ice caps to reach the North and South Poles, as well as the first woman to ski across Greenland.[9] In 1992–1993, Bancroft led a four-woman expedition to the South Pole on skis; this expedition was the first all-female expedition to cross the ice to the South Pole.[10] In 2001, Ann and Norwegian adventurer Liv Arnesen became the first women to ski across Antarctica.[9] In March 2007, Bancroft and Liv Arnesen took part in a trek across the Arctic Ocean to draw attention to the problem of global warming. The two explorers were followed be millions of school children.[11] However, according to The Washington Post, the expedition was called off "after Liv Arnesen suffered frostbite in three of her toes, and extreme cold temperatures drained the batteries in some of their electronic equipment."[12] In 2017, Bancroft led an expedition on the Ganges River as part of the "Access Water Initiative Series." [12][13] The Ganges River expedition's purpose was to raise awareness of the importance of clean water and that waste will travel downstream.[14] This expedition was a 60-day trip on 1,500 miles of waterway.[23] Bancroft plans to boat down the Mississippi river in 2018 with Arnesen and other female explorers.[15] Future expeditions will be conducted on every continent. This initiative aims to encourage children to protect their waterways, which is a vital resource.[23] In 2018, Bancroft will paddle down the 2,320 mile Mississippi River.[16] Future trips include Africa in 2019, Oceania in 2021, South America in 2023, Europe in 2025, and Antarctica in 2027.[12] ActivistBancroft is openly gay[17] and in 2006, she publicly campaigned against a proposed amendment to the Minnesota Constitution to prohibit any legal recognition of marriages or civil unions between members of the same sex.[18] Bancroft also supports awareness of Access Water, Winter Warm-Up challenges, and global warming.[15][19][20] Select achievements
