Ivan Trofimoff

This morning Ivan came to see us to talk about his journey to become the first Mexican and Latin American to walk to the North Pole.

I saw:
Ivan's enormous, toasty-jacket.
His large, furry floppy hat.
His velvety pink mittens

I heard:
How to choose snow for an igloo
How dangerous finding your way across the ice.
Ivan's description of dancing, musical Aurora Borealis

I felt:
Scared for the Norwegian who fell through the ice.
Nervous for Ivan when he crossed the ice bridge.
Inspired by Ivan's perseverance when people laughed at him.

Thank you Ivan for speaking to us about your exciting journey to become an Arctic Explorer.
