About this ebook

Polar Explorer is an inspiring and empowering story by sixteen-year-old Jade Hameister, chronicling her feat of being the youngest person to complete the Polar Hat Trick...

From her first trip to Everest Base Camp as a young woman, Jade Hameister knew what she wanted to achieve - the impossible.

Jade began her quest to complete the Polar Hat Trick in April 2016 when she was fourteen. She became the youngest person to ski to the North Pole from anywhere outside the last degree - the point where most people begin - and was named Australian Geographic Society’s Young Adventurer of the Year. But that was just the beginning. In June of 2017, she became the youngest woman to complete the crossing of Greenland, the second largest ice cap on the planet. On January 11, 2018, she arrived at the South Pole after an epic 37 day journey through Antarctica, becoming the youngest person to ski to both Poles and the youngest person to complete the Polar Hat Trick.

This book will motivate and encourage young people to follow their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem.

Ratings and reviews

Idk how to rlly put this into to words but the simplest way to put it is, this book means so much to me that it's hard to describe. To see someone my age achieve such amazing goals is inspiring to say the least. It's really sad to see people around me (my friends included) trying to lead a perfect life instead of a brave life and I truly believe a story like yours can change their view on life. I'm not sure if you will read this Jade but just know one day I will go on an expidition with you to place that isn't normal explored. I wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors and ik you will achieve big things since you already have. If anyone is reading this review then I strongly suggest you read this book it is worth your time and it really shows you that if you truly want to achieve something and put in the work and never give up you will achieve it just like Jade did.
