Liv Arnesen's Lectures and Presentations
Liv Arnesen's Bancroft Arnesen Expedition Presentation
|
As a sought after speaker fluent in both English and Norwegian, Liv leads her audiences on her journeys with a multi-media presentation
utilizing historic images and film. Telling about her past journeys and stories of adventure, she motivates audiences to overcome
obstacles by showing how she stayed true to her dream. Her presentations on the Bancroft Arnesen Expedition and her other historic
expeditions always keep audiences captivated.
Showing historic still and video footage, Liv tells her inspirational and motivational story - beginning with a childhood dream and
culminating as she and Ann Bancroft became the first women in history to ski across Antarctica's landmass.
Liv is currently preparing for a September release of her book No Horizaon Is So Far, which she and Ann Bancroft co-authored with Cheryl
Dahle, telling the story of Liv and Ann's crossing of Antarctica, which began on November 13, 2000. Liv and Ann skied and sailed across
Antarctica for 94 days and 1,717 miles (2,747km), pulling 250 pound (113 kg) sleds full of food and equipment, enduring temperatures as
low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius) and winds gusting up to 100 miles (160 km) per hour.
Speaking alone or together as a real-life dynamic duo with Ann Bancroft, her expedition partner, Liv brings her experience and images
that continually leave her audiences inspired and striving harder to achieve their own dreams.
Liv uses stunning images of Antarctica and her amazing experiences to provide insights on subjects that challenge all of us on a daily
basis.
Liv Arnesen's Other Lectures
The South Pole - Self-Management
"Realizing Your Dreams" or "Nice Girls Don't Go to the South Pole" are the titles of Liv's lecture on her solo journey to the South
Pole in 1994. This lecture is not simply about a ski tour of 1,200 kilometers and 50 days of solitude in the polar desert. Liv deals
just as much with the motivation of the enterprise, and the practical and psychological preparations. The lecture utilizes several
types of media, with slides and videos made on the expedition, and a sound track with music in addition to the winds from
Antarctica.
Mount Everest - Teamwork
The Mount Everest Expedition of 1996 was conceived as an experiment in leadership and the interplay of personality. Liv on a team of
10 participants underwent comprehensive tests before departure, and analyzed the results together. The outcome was the hitherto most
successful expedition from the north side - 8 of 10 climbers reached the summit. Liv, who developed incipient high-altitude cerebral
edema, but turned back in time and the leader, Jon Gangdal, were those who did not. This was a catastrophic season on Everest,
twenty-six people perishing. However, all members of this team returned safe and sound. This lecture focuses on teamwork.
Greenland
A general lecture on nature and landscape, flora and fauna, Eskimo culture, and the early explorers. Information on Liv's previous
expeditions and a journey in the wake of the Vikings. This retraces the route of Erik the Red, via Iceland, to the historical Old
Norse Eastern Settlements in Greenland.
Svalbard
A general lecture about this fascinating northern island, its surroundings, the old explorers, flora and fauna. Liv can also
lectures on skiing, trekking, and cruising in small ships.
