Explorer Philip Goodeve-Docker freezes to death on second day of trek across Greenland

Explorer Philip Goodeve-Docker freezes to death on second day of trek across Greenland - UK
A novice polar explorer from London froze to death and two colleagues were left critically ill after being caught in a massive storm as they trekked across the Arctic.
...
It is thought their tent was blown onto a glacier. They radioed for help but a helicopter was unable to reach them until the following day. Mr Goodeve-Docker is thought to have died overnight as temperatures plunged to -35C.
Goodeve-Docker was traveling with Andy Norman - The Arctic Virgin | Facebook
Greenland is especially newsworthy at the moment as the centre of concern over the worlds current climate change crisis.
One of four movies listed on Goodeve-Docker's Facebook page is "Age of Stupid".
