Arctic Expedition

It was meant to be a sponsored sledge trip: five days, a husky team and a lot of photos for the fundraising page. On day three the sky goes white. Not cloudy, white, as if someone has rubbed out the world. Your guide Ingrid shouts something the wind snatches away. Tom, who organised the whole thing, is trying to get his phone out with mittens on. Priya, the photographer, is just staring. It is minus thirty and getting colder.
