September 17, 2025
[PODCAST]
Imagine this: from the quiet coastal town of Swakopmund to the frozen extremes of the North Pole… on board a Russian nuclear icebreaker. It sounds like something from a documentary, right? Well, it’s real and it’s Namibian!
Today, we celebrate a remarkable achievement by Teaghan Beresford, a Swakopmund teenager who recently became one of the very few people on Earth and the first known Namibian to set foot on the geographic North Pole. Her journey was part of an international science expedition that included students from over 21 countries. From online classes to Arctic exploration this story is about curiosity, courage, and breaking boundaries.
Beresford joins Desert FM to tell us more about this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
