Explorer
In 1994 Arnesen became the first woman to ski solo to the South Pole. In an (August 23, 1998) article in the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten she said (translated) 'I know many people who believe in God, and I expected to find Him on my way to the South Pole if He exists. My religious experiences were very different however, [only] involving myself, nature and the universe.'
