Fields of white sparkle beneath a cold blue sky. You can hear the swish of skis on the ice. It’s Arctic spring, but it’s cold. It’s minus 20° Celsius. Fourteen-year-old Jade Hameister
plods along. She’s dragging a sled with gear that weighs more than she does. Still, she keeps moving toward her goal: Reaching the North Pole!
At the top of the world, Jade will
make history. She’ll be the youngest person to ski 150 kilometers from the Arctic to the North Pole. Jade got the help of a team. Jade’s
father, Paul Hameister is an expert climber. Petter Nyquist is a top photographer. And Eric Phillips is a master guide. He led the way.
Can a 14-year-old girl ski 150 kilometers across the ice to reach the North Pole? In a word, yes.
