Now that’s cold. Helen Skelton is riding a Fortune Hanebrink snow bike to the South Pole.

Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton is hoping to become the first person to use a bike to reach the South Pole. She is attempting to travel 500 miles (805km) across Antarctica and will cycle for large parts of it, as well as snowkiting and walking. She hopes to complete the trek for Sport Relief in 20 days.

And she looks fantastic in that snowsuit! Read about her adventure on the BBC and follow her trip.
