History maker Lisa Blair’s journey to become the fastest person to sail solo, nonstop, and unassisted around Antarctica was a fight against nature’s most fearsome elements. Facing 15-meter waves, freezing temperatures, and a life-threatening dismasting, she triumphed against impossible odds. In this gripping talk, Lisa shares how her passion for ocean health, groundbreaking microplastics research, and climate advocacy shaped her expeditions. Through harrowing tales of survival, she challenges audiences to face change, navigate fear, and drive global action for a sustainable future.
