first person to journey solo to the Magnetic North Pole. At age 63, while still recovering

miles across the Gobi Desert in 126 degree heat. She also kayaked 1,200 miles of the
remote Amazon, and lived with wolves for a year. Honored by the National Geographic

THAYER, who has shared many of her adventures and enterprises, and co-authored Three
