Culture 24 Article by Adam Stapleton -
.............. However modern explorers face new challenges, as highlighted by the “The North Today” section global warming is seriously affecting the Arctic. This poses new challenges to explorers as the ice is now changing and can often be extremely dangerous as Jim McNeill found out when he fell through the ice in Baffin island and was only save by the buoyancy of the Natural fibres he was wearing. The full story including interview can be seen in the exhibition.
Timesonline Article by Benedict Allen -
............... Modern exploration boots belonging to Jim McNeill, of the Ice Warrior polar project A half-inch felt undersole insulates this boot. They’re great at stopping water because the lower boot is rubber, like a gumboot, which acts like the Inuit sealskin waterproofing. But wearing these you clump along like an alien — you feel separated from your environment. The great thing about indigenous materials is that they’re silent and you feel as if you belong in the place. You somehow feel you have more of a right to be there.
