Getting up to the Arctic is not a joke. There are so many dangers as well as arduous circumstances that face anyone who wants to get there and come back in one piece. This is one of the main reasons why Christina Franco had to abandon her trip up to the North Pole as part of her North Pole 2010. The fact of the matter is that the region has huge ice fields and also negative drift that can easily take their toll on the adventure travelers who want to get to the North Pole. Christina had to abandon her trip after she spent around three days in the ice, unable to find her way around a water filled area. She was also painfully aware of the fact that time was less and as the drift was negative and quite against her, she had no fair chance of achieving her goals of the North Pole 2010 trip. So she called it a day and has to take a ride on a resupply plane, thus abandoning the trip altogether.

The pilots of the plane that rescued Christina Franco agreed that she was stuck up so bad in that place that there was no way she could have gone any further.
