Warmist who took joyride around the world may cry when facing "unbearable freezing conditions" in the Arctic this summer

Tears and whisky to fuel the North Pole adventure - Wharf

Faced with unbearably freezing conditions, feats of mammoth physical strength and unbelievable mental strain, explorer Jock Wishart has one coping mechanism.

"You cry," he said. "A bit like Ben Fogle, you have to cry."
...
Wishart, 59, who has set the world record for circumnavigation of the globe in a powered vessel, is leading a team which aims to become the first to row to the North Magnetic Pole - a feat only achievable due to global warming.
...
But, even with his huge experience and courage, he is not convinced of success in the journey which aims to see them row - and carry in places - a boat 450 miles from Canada in August.

Wishart sees the six-week challenge as akin to "Ernest Shackleton's exploration of the South Pole" and judges the team's chances across the treacherous broken ice as merely 60/40 in their favour.
