When fifty year old helen
Thayer decide to ski alone to the north pole no
Woman had ever done it before the set off on her 585 kilometre
Journey on 30 march 1988.
For the next twenty seven days
she skied and walked across
The ice wit only a dog called charlie for company
Charlie had been taught by the local
Inuit people to protect people
From polar bears
All of helen's supplies in a sled
Which she pulled not charlie
his job was to look out for bears
The first bear they met ran away
When helen fired her flare gun
But one day they met a bear that was not afraid of the gun
leg and wouldn't let go
Helen and a dog called charlie
Helen play to ski to the north pole
The north pole
Helen and charlie had to face were freezing temperatures
