| |  In Weekender today, we hear from explorer, Rosie Stancer. In March, Rosie sets off on her latest expedition - walking on her own to the North Pole. We catch up with Rosie on a training exercise in Canada, in Resolute Bay. She talks about the landscape she's preparing to encounter. As you listen, try to answer these questions: 1: What colours does Rosie mention when she's describing what it's like in the Arctic? 2: What is it like for her training with the army?
