British adventurer Camilla Hempleman-Adams has apologised after falsely claiming to be the first woman to solo traverse Canada’s largest island.
The 32-year-old battled temperatures as low as -40C and winds of 47mph during the two-week expedition across Baffin Island, covering 150 miles on foot and by ski while pulling a sledge. She completed the journey from Qikiqtarjuaq to Pangnirtung, through Auyuittuq National Park, in 13 days.
