This film introduces us to the characters of Rian and Maya and their journey from the North Pole to the South Pole.
They discuss why sleds and huskies are used for travelling on snow. Maya explains to Rian about the four points of a compass and how you can use a compass to find the direction you need.
They learn how animals have been used through history as modes of transport.
They mention horses, camels, and elephants and some of the places and ways that these animals have been used.
They discuss why using animals might be a more effective method of transport than walking.
They then learn about Matthew Henson, an African American man who may have been the first person to visit the North Pole.
