British adventurer Sarah Outen MBE has completed her London2London: Via the World journey, and become the first person to row from Japan to Alaska, The Daily Mail reported on 3 November.
Since her departure from London in April 2011, Outen has cycled, kayaked and rowed 25,000 miles across Europe, Asia and North America, aiming to raise £100,000 for charity.
Hit by 80mph winds during a three-day tropical storm in 2012 while solo rowing across the Pacific, Outen was rescued by Japanese coastguards and restarted her trip after nine months of recovery.
