11 A building was ready for the scientists to work in on their arrival in northern Canada.
12 This was the first time scientists had tested Arctic sea water during the winter months.
13 Information was collected on the expedition to help explain the reasons for climate
change.
14 The North Pole was the destination of a previous expedition that Ann had been on.
16 During her career, Ann has discovered ways to deal with feeling cold.
19 When she went onto the ice, Helen carried equipment to prevent wild animals from
attacking.

Arctic expedition
Ann Daniels and Helen faced the dangers of polar bears, thin ice and frostbite when
they became members of an expedition to the Arctic in 2010.
The expedition team consisted of six scientists and a separate group of three explorers.
While Helen and the other scientists were setting up a laboratory site in the ice in
northern Canada, Ann and two other explorers set off on a 500 kilometre journey on
foot across floating sea ice from Greenland to the North Pole.
Both groups planned to measure how thick the ice was at various sites in the Arctic.
They would also collect water sample for testing, in order to discover how the
chemistry of sea water was changing, and what effect this was having on plant – life
and animals and in the ocean. On previous expeditions, the water was tested in the
summer, using ships at sea, but they had never collected it from under the ice before.
The research was important for understanding what might happen in other oceans
around the world in the future, as a result of climate change.
Ann Daniels was working in a bank in 1996 when she answered and advert, inviting
ordinary women to join a trek to the North Pole in the Arctic. Since then she has
become one of the world’s leading professional polar explorers. For the 2010
expedition, she and her two colleagues attended a week – long fitness camp to prepare
them for pulling the 120 kilogram sledges over the ice for 12 hours a day.
Despite her previous experience, however, Ann suffered in the freezing conditions. ‘It
gets into your bones and never leaves you, even when you’re in your tent at night,’
she said. ‘Especially at the end of an expedition when you’re totally exhausted.’ Yet
Ann successfully guided her companions for 73 days and collected all the samples and
information that were needed.
Helen Findlay was one of the scientists on the laboratory site based in Canada.
Although it was not her first visit to the Arctic, she had never been there in winter and
realised that carrying out experiments in such an extreme environment would be
challenging. The laboratory tents were heated, but getting equipment to work outside
while wearing gloves and thick clothes meant every job took twice as long as it would
normally. When they went out onto the ice to collect samples, the scientists were
protected by two guides with guns and bangers to frighten any curious polar bears
who might be attracted by the smell of humans.
Despite the difficulties, both Ann and Helen stayed out on the ice for the whole of the
project, and the results of their studies have been widely published

answer sheet.
Helen Skelton
Television presenter Helen Skelton has completed
various dangerous challenges for charity, including
a desert marathon run and a journey down the
Amazon river in a tiny boat. For her latest
challenge, Helen walked on a high wire, a long thin
piece of metal, 66 metres above the ground,
between the two towers of an empty power station.
There was no safety net, only a belt around her
waist attached to another wire above. To help her
keep her balance and not to fall, she carried a long
stick, weighing eight kilograms.
Helen took lessons from an exert high – wire walker. Although she already had
a few circus skills, she quickly discovered that high – wire walking was
completely different. ‘The training was a shock’, said Helen. ‘I didn’t realise
how strong I’d need to be. Every day started at 8 am with a run up a steep hill;
then came an I also had to learn how to fall onto the wire so that if I slipped I
could carry on. Every time I fell in the wire it hurt badly. But it was essential to
keep a positive attitude: if I was nervous and started shaking, so would the
wire.
The day of the actual challenge was windy and Helen controlled herself by
taking deep breaths as she moved step by step along the wire. The 150 – metre
walk took 15 minutes. ‘That was the scariest thing I’ve done,’ she admitted
afterwards. ‘I’m glad it’s over!’
