They face a constant battle with ice and wind storms that would test the most able-bodied of Arctic explorers.Prince Harry is the patron of Walking With The Wounded, the charity that organised the expedition. He joins the team on the ice for the first leg of the expedition when for a week he pulls his own sledge, sharing tent-pitching and food preparation duties and faces the same gruelling Arctic conditions as his fellow servicemen.
