The daughter of a Wiltshire explorer has spoken of her "privilege" at becoming the youngest British female to ever ski to the north pole.
Camilla Hempleman-Adams, 15, completed the 80-mile journey with 11 others and father David in three days. He first made the same trek 10 years ago.
She said: "I thought, 'What have I got myself in to?' I didn't think I was going to enjoy it that much."
The teenager used the trip to highlight climate change.
Before the expedition, she unveiled a 6ft (1.8m) ice clock in Parliament Square.
She added: "I really didn't know what to expect before I went there, but now I've seen how amazing it is I don't want it to change.
"I want people to understand that we mustn't let it be destroyed. I haven't thought about breaking a record, it's much more about climate change for me.
"It has definitely made a big impact on me. I feel really privileged that my dad let me go there. I definitely want to go on another expedition," she added.
"It was amazing, it was really weird, I stepped out the helicopter and you just look around and it was all white.
"It was a crazy feeling just to be in the middle of nowhere, somewhere where no-one else could really go, so it was really strange."
