Ann Bancroft: the first woman to reach the North Pole on foot* in 1986 (dog-assisted). • 1993: First woman to reach both the North & South Poles on foot (S. Pole unassisted) • 2001: First woman to ski across Antarctica with Norwegian Liv Arnesen Born #OTD in 1955. *walked, snowshoed and/or skied

A close-up photograph of the rugged, joyful countenance of American polar explorer Ann Bancroft (born September 29, 1955), the first woman to cross the ice to both the North and South Poles. Set against a stark, high-key backdrop of a vast, white Arctic or Antarctic ice expanse under an overcast, pale sky, she looks directly at the camera with a wide, radiant smile that crinkles her eyes. Her weather-beaten face is flushed pink from the intense polar cold. Her dark, graying hair is windblown and messy, held back by dark, reflective sunglasses resting atop her head. She wears heavy polar expedition gear, including a dark navy jacket with a thick, fluffy brown fur-trimmed hood framing her face, layered over a bright purple collar, a red knit undershirt, and a visible zipper. The composition centers on her resilient expression, conveying a triumphant, adventurous, and authentic mood that highlights her historical significance as a barrier-breaking explorer.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.

A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.
