Buckingham Palace has revived centuries-old memories as King Charles’ epic 1975 Arctic adventure gets a modern twist.
The monarch’s trip to the Canadian Arctic is back in the spotlight. Charles’s formative journey is retold by adventurer Steve Backshall.
50 years later, Backshall’s mission is to expose the harsh reality of climate change in the Arctic.
The palace wrote: “In 1975 the King undertook a formative trip to the Canadian Arctic – going dog sledding, embracing freezing temperatures and learning about the local culture.”
The statement continued: “Now Steve Backshall retraces His Majesty’s steps and reveals the impact of climate change, 50 years on.”
It added: “Watch ‘Steve Backshall’s Royal Arctic Challenge’ on ITV1 on December 18 at 8.30pm.”
