Elham's nomination story

Elham Al Qasimi is the first Arab woman to set foot on the North Pole. She completed her journey with no food drops, no re-supplies and no visits to towns or settlements. She showed women how they can follow their dreams yet still respect their culture. She successfully completed her expedition to the North Pole in just 8 days in April 2010.
