Arnesen1953年出生在挪威奥斯陆郊区的Bærum，在她幼年时受到父母的影响，热衷于越野滑雪和极地历史。最终，她对于运动和户外的喜爱让Arnesen常参加徒步越野和越野滑雪的竞赛，同时她在高水平越野滑雪领域训练高中学生。
After her South Pole trek in 1994, Arnesen founded her own company, “White Horizons”, which she has changed to a shareholding company called “Liv Arnesen AS” provides motivational lectures and team-building programs to kids and adults.
