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 on the ice in northern Canada, Ann and two other explorers set aff on a 500 kilometre journey on foot across floating sea ice ftom 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 samples 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 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 othet oceans around the world in the future, as a result of climate change. Ann Daniels was working ina bank in 1996 when she answered an advert, inviting ordinary women io 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 ones 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.Part 4 Questions 21-25 Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your 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 expert 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 hour of exercises, with another hour of them after my day practising on the wire. | also had to learn how to fall onto the wire so that if I slipped | could carry on. Every time | fell on the wire it hurt badly. But it was essential to keep a positive attitude: if | 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!’ The experience has not prevented Helen, however, from planning her next charity project: to reach the South Pole by ski, kite and bike. 21 What is the writer doing in this text?
