Section A: Reading

Read the text below and answer Questions 1–3 on the question paper.

This text is from an autobiography by the explorer Ranulph Fiennes. Here he explains some of the challenges of travelling in extreme conditions.

Text 1

For four days and nights the temperature hovered around -50o C creating weird effects such as haloes, sun pillars, mock suns and parhelia1.

In the mornings the skidoos were difficult to start. Any wrong move or out of sequence

action caused long delays. Try to engage gear too soon and the drive belt shattered

into rubber fragments. Turn the ignition key a touch too hard and it snapped off the 5lock. Set the choke wrong and the plugs fouled up. Changing plugs at -50o in a strong

wind was a bitter chore which no one fancied.

Often the whole day could pass without a word spoken between us. Our routine was

slick and included, after camping, the drill of ice-core samples at every degree of

latitude, a full coded weather report by radio to the World Meteorological Organisation, 10and the taking of urine samples as part of our calorific intake programme.

On the 9th November we ran into our first bad field of sastrugi, teeth of ice cut by the

wind and resembling parallel lines of concrete tanktraps. Due to the prevalence of

east-west winds, these furrows were diagonal to our southerly direction of travel. The

sastrugi were from eighteen inches to four feet high and, being perpendicular, they 15often impeded any advance until we axed out a through lane. The sastrugi buckled our

springs, bogey wheels and skis. Oliver struggled to improvise repairs.

At 80o South we camped in one spot for seventeen days to allow Giles to set up a fuel

dump halfway between the coast and the Pole.

For weeks our progress was painfully slow. Sledges with smashed oak spars were 20abandoned, frequent overturns caused minor injuries, axe-work through sastrugi fields

progressed sometimes at a mere 800 yards in five hours, and the ever present fear of

crevasses gnawed at our morale. One morning, stopping at an apparently harmless

slope, Charlie stepped off his skidoo to stretch his legs and promptly disappeared up to

his thighs. He was parked right over an unseen cavern, with less than two inches of 25snow cover between him and oblivion.

Close to 85o South, in a high sastrugi field, we had stopped for repairs when we heard

from Ginnie that a team of South African scientists, operating at the rim of the coastal

mountains near Sanae, were in trouble. One of their heavy snow tractors had plunged

sixty feet down a crevasse and broken his neck and their rescue party, returning to 30their coastal base, became lost in the icefields. They had, by the time Ginnie contacted

us, already been missing with minimal gear for five days.

PRACTICEPAPER1:ADVENTURES


38

At this point we learned that there were no rescue facilities available in the entire

continent and, since the missing men were more than fifty miles from their base, they

would almost certainly die. Already short of fuel and with a recurring engine start up 35problem, highly hazardous in Antarctica, Giles nonetheless flew over 1000 miles to

search for, and eventually locate, the missing South African scientists.

Read the text below and answer Questions 4–7 on the question paper.

This text is from a newspaper article about the rescue of a vessel stranded in pack ice.

Text 2

Thick ice thwarts efforts to rescue ship trapped in Antarctic. Chinese

icebreaker unable to reach Russian vessel stranded in pack ice since Tuesday;

Australian ship to reach area on Sunday.

A group of tourists and scientists remain trapped aboard a ship off the coast of

Antarctica on Saturday after watching a rescue vessel appear on the horizon only to 5grind to a halt in heavy ice.

The MV Akademik Shokalskiy has been stuck in a desolate stretch of sea ice since a

heavy blizzard on Christmas Eve.

The passengers and 20-odd Russian crew members now remain in an icy limbo.

They are hoping a third rescue vessel, Aurora Australis, an Australian resupply ship, 10will be able to break through the ice. It is due to arrive on Sunday.

“We all know that there’s a possibility of this becoming quite a protracted sit and wait,”

a passenger, Andrew Peacock, told AFP via satellite phone.

The 74 passengers, including researchers and tourists from Australia, New Zealand and

Britain, thought their ordeal had finally ended on Saturday as a Chinese icebreaker, the 15Snow Dragon, came within sight and prepared to lead them to open water.

“There’s a lot of relief amongst the team, and there’s lots of happy faces,” an

Australian scientist, Chris Turney, said on Friday in a video posted online.

But the Snow Dragon came no further. It stopped about six nautical miles away as the

ice proved thick and its master opted — wisely, according to maritime experts — to 20ensure the safety of his own crew. A nearby French vessel also failed to break through

the ice.

The Russian ship remains trapped some 100 nautical miles east of a French Antarctic

station, Dumont D’Urville, and about 1,500 nautical miles south of the Australian island

state of Tasmania. The vessel was two weeks into a four week voyage to follow the 25


39

path a century ago of the great explorer, Sir Douglas Mawson, whose own expedition

across Antarctica went perilously close to disaster.

Professor Turney, who helped organise the voyage, said in a tweet that “everyone [is]

well”.

He said the vessel initially became trapped in the ice pack off Antarctica just two 30nautical miles from open water after strong winds pushed blocks of ice into the ship’s

path.

“We just wanted to let all our family and friends know there is no risk to the vessel and

everyone is well,” he said in a blog post.

The Shokalskiy is stocked with enough fresh food for another two weeks and some 35dehydrated food. The crew has been running the engines for part of each day to

prevent the boat’s workings being damaged by the ice.

Authorities say the passengers are not in danger and could be winched to safety by

helicopter if necessary.

The expedition is repeating many of the original experiments conducted by Mawson, an 40Australian explorer, and are seeking to assess the changes in the environment over the

past century. Mawson nearly died while traversing part of the continent and lost his

two fellow team members before dragging a sledge 100 miles to safety; he famously

survived by eating some of the dogs he brought to assist with transport.
