The story of the youngest woman in the world who rowed alone and crossed the Atlantic Ocean attracts attention.



On the 21st of the local time, British Guardians and other foreign media reported that 21-year-old Jasmine Harrison, who lives in North Yorkshire, England, successfully completed his 4,828km long journey across the Atlantic Ocean in 70 days.




Harrison, who had a strong sense of independence from an early age, encountered the'Road Rowing Competition' for the first time in 2018 while working as a swimming instructor.

Harrison dreamed of participating in the tournament as he watched the players crossing the great sea alone, and after devoting himself to training, he competed in the'World's Most Difficult Rowing Competition' at the end of last year.



Harrison was on a transatlantic road on December 12, 2020 in the Spanish Canary Islands.

Prior to departure, various advice was given to the contest participants, but Harrison decided to complete it only his own way.



He always took a nap to replenish his stamina while he was busy rowing, and he did not miss the schedule of watching the sun set still.




In particular, while most of the contest participants choose ready-to-eat food for meals, Harrison settled the meal with snacks and 40 kg of chocolate.

Rather than having a specific reason, it was my own way of sailing.



I wasn't just happy with the'full freedom' I experienced for the first time.

When I had to row for 12 hours every day, when my physical limit came, I couldn't get any encouragement, and I often missed my friends.



In front of the destination, Antigua Island in the West Indies, the hull turned over and seriously injured his elbow, but Harrison did not give up until the end, receiving telemedicine from a doctor over the phone.




As a result, on February 20, 2021, 70 days after departure, Harrison succeeded in completing the race and became the'youngest woman in the world who paddled alone and crossed the Atlantic Ocean'.



Afterwards, Harrison said, "I always had a personality that I had to do what I wanted to do. The feeling of freedom that comes when I achieved something by myself cannot be explained in words."

He also said, "I hope more people will see me and have the courage to live the life they choose."



Harrison shared the challenge process on his social media network and raised 14,000 dollars (about 15 million won) to'Blue Marine', a marine ecosystem protection organization, and'Shelter Box,' a charity organization for victims of natural disasters.
