15- Year old skied to the North Pole
last update: Apr 14, 2008 01:21 PM
Camilla Hempleman-Adams, a 15 year old schoolgirl, became the youngest British woman to ski to the North Pole. Although she is proud of her achievement, she can't wait to get home - to a pizza.
Her father David led the team of 11 explorers and they reached the geographic North Pole last Wednesday. Also one of the team leaders was the Norwegian polar expert Rune Gjeldnes.
Camilla said that it had been the hardest thing she had ever done in her life: "I've been sharing a tent with four men and two women and the snoring has been unbearable despite my ear plugs. The food has been disgusting. It's like sick. I'm really looking forward to my first pizza or spaghetti when I get back to civilisation."
