Youngest person reaches South Pole

Sixteen-year-old Amelia Hempleman-Adams is now the youngest person ever to have skied to the South Pole.

 

Amelia and her explorer dad, David, spent 17 nights in the Antarctic, enduring temperatures as low as minus 50°C.

They eventually reached the pole at 1.30am on 9 December. Amelia said it had been an “extraordinary experience”.
