In August 2002 Wojciechowska began her expedition to climb the seven tallest mountains on Earth, starting with
Mont Blanc. On 22 January 2010, she summited her last mountain,
Mount Carstensz, becoming the third
Polish woman to achieve that and the second to do it in the
Reinhold Messner way. Her expedition was featured in the 55 minute long documentary
Korona Ziemi (
The crown of Earth) and two books
Przesunąć horyzont (Move the Horizon) and
Misja Everest (Mission Everest). In 2004, while filming one of her programmes ‘Mission Martyna’ in Iceland, she had a serious car accident in which her friend and cameraman Rafał Łukaszewicz died and Wojciechowska broke her spine. She promised herself she would get better and after long therapy in May 2006 she climbed
Mount Everest. The events were described in her book
Przesunąć horyzont (Move the Horizon). In 2007, when she was three months pregnant, she summited
Mount Elbrus. When her daughter was 8 months old she decided to go to
Antarctica to summit
Vinson Massif, the highest mountain of the continent. At 4000 meters the expedition was surprised by a strong snowstorm which completely destroyed Wojciechowska’s tent. For dozens of hours, the group was trapped in their tents with the temperature at -30 °C and without food. Subsequently, many tabloids criticized Wojciechowska for risking her life and being an irresponsible mother.
