2010 Arctic Expedition - Thornhill School - 2010 Arctic Expedition

Posted by at 3:15PM on 04 August 2010

In February 2010 a group of pupils travelled to the artic wastelands to discover an alternative environment to that commonly found in Sunderland.

With temperatures plummeting as low as -35 degrees centigrade, these intrepid explorers survived the change in climate as well as a week away with staff.

Read how they coped on the Arctic Field Trip 2010 blog.
