London - (UPI) -- A 15-year-old British girl says her arctic explorer father helped her brave sub-zero temperatures to successfully ski to the North Pole.
Camilla Hempleman-Adams said she was among 11 people who donned skis and traveled 80 miles in frigid temperatures to reach the North Pole. The teenager is now the youngest British female ever to accomplish the goal.
"It's been amazing going on the expedition with my dad and now my eyes have been opened as to what he has done on previous trips," the triumphant teen said.
"This has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
Among the hardships Hempleman-Adams endured was pulling a 70-pound sled and consuming questionable foods.
