The Evening Express reports that biology student, Maria Huntlaar is appealing to the north-east public to help her land a place on a polar dog-sledging expedition. Maria Huntlaar is aiming to secure a spot on the Fjallraven Polar – which will take participants across nearly 200 miles of Arctic wilderness. If successful, the 21-year-old would trace a route through Norway and Sweden, from the mountains in Signaldalen to the forests in Vakkarajarvi, braving temperatures as low as -15C along the way.
