Description: Clärenore Stinnes, born Clara Eleonore Stinnes, was a German racing driver and one of the first women to completely circumnavigate the globe by car between 1927 and 1929. At the age of twenty-six, she set out in an Adler Standard 6 with only two spare tires and a small crew: two mechanics and the young Swedish cinematographer Carl-Axel Söderström, whom she had met just two days before departure. She crossed Europe, the Middle East, Siberia, the Gobi Desert, Beijing, North America, and the Andes to Buenos Aires, then traveled north again to New York, where they were received by President Hoover. The journey continued by sea to Le Havre and Berlin, covering about 47,000 km (29,200 miles)

First circumnavigation by car
Racing driver Clärenore Stinnes (Germany), accompanied by film-maker Carl-Axel Söderström (Sweden), embarked upon what is considered to be the first round-the-world drive on 25 May 1927, setting off from Frankfurt in Germany and finishing just beyond the starting point in Berlin on 24 June 1929, a total of 46’063 km (28’622 miles). The pair drove a 50-hp Adler Standard 6 automobile that was unmodified save for two lounge seats, added to give extra comfort. The entire trip took 2 years, 1 month and encompassed 23 countries. The following year, Stinnes and Söderström, who had met just two days prior to their departure in 1927, married.
