Exercise 3

Amy Johnson, Queen of the air

Amy Johnson was born on 1 July 1903 in the north of England. As a

schoolgirl, she was good at hockey and cricket. Three months after her eighteenth

birthday, she went to university to study Economics. When she graduated, three

years later, she moved to London and decided to become a secretary.

She became very interested in aeroplanes and joined the London Aeroplane

Club. In 1928, she qualified as a pilot. Two years later, she became the first woman

to fly solo from England to Australia. In 1932, she broke the world record for a solo

flight from London to Cape Town in South Africa.

Amy Johnson was a woman in a man`s world. Her death, just a few month

before her thirty- eighth birthday, was a tragedy and a mistery. She was killed in an

aeroplane accident over the River Thames. Even today, people do not really know

what happened to the “Queen of the air”.

Adventure may come in all shapes, sizes and difficulty levels.

Some backstory. Horn (54) was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and studied human movement science at South Africa's University of Stellenbosch. By age 24 he decided to explore and experience life at its fullest, so he started a series of expeditions.

In 2020, as most of the world entered a coronavirus-induced lockdown (or various stages of quarantine), Horn set off aboard Pangaea in February for Greenland and Svalbard, where he and his team helped conduct some scientific research while also logging thousands of offshore miles.

How did you become interested in high-latitude sailing?

My interest for high-latitude sailing developed as a result of two separate passions, which eventually combined into one: First is my passion for polar regions and second, my passion for autonomous traveling.

As a kid, I followed with much enthusiasm the adventures of Shackleton, Amundsen and Scott; some of the greatest polar explorers of all times.

I knew I would someday find a way to make it to those remote areas of the globe, but there was something about taking a plane to the high and low latitudes that bothered me...to me it almost defeated the fundamental purpose of an adventure. My wish was to travel the way those who inspired me did...by boat!

What's the best (or most enjoyable) part about high-latitude expedition sailing? And what's the worst part?

What's most exciting is when we find ourselves navigating through ice, attempting to make steady progress.

And the worst part, is when you get stuck and the ice surrounding you just won't let you make any further progress...this is when we have to act quickly before the ice closes-in on us.

It is stressful and the consequences can be bad, yet the urge to find a solution brings you adrenaline, uncertainty and excitement, which are things we adventurers absolutely love!

Exercise 6

There’s something special about embarking on an adventure into the unknown and
