Info

Boyd began planning an expedition to the Arctic. First, she wanted to prime herself for the trip by learning more about this fascinating place. She hired one of the most famous experts on the Arctic to instruct her. Boyd also trained to become a nature photographer. In the 1920s, cameras could not be held in one hand. A photographer needed to learn how to operate the large, box-like cameras used at the time. Boyd also trained with a scientist so she could collect plant specimens in the Arctic. Boyd explored Artic regions like the one shown here. Notice the icepack, or floating sea ice. 5
Chapter 2 Exploring the Arctic In 1926, Boyd was finally ready. Her first trip to the Arctic was the culmination of months of training. Boyd hired a boat called the Hobby that was specially equipped to navigate the Arctic ice. The Hobby had been used before to carry supplies to explorers in the Arctic. Boyd planned to take photographs during her first trip. She invited friends to join her. The Hobby first sailed to the huge island of Greenland, which is largely covered with glaciers. They came ashore in a remote place called Franz Josef Land. Boyd was considered the first woman to ever set foot there. The Arctic Ocean is the world’s smallest ocean. Much of it is covered by an icepack. 6
