Teenager reaches sub-zero North Pole

LONDON, April 13 (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, The Mail on Sunday reported.

"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, not to mention the snoring.

"I've been sharing a tent with four men and two women and the snoring has been unbearable -- despite my ear plugs," she told the British newspaper.
