There were no radios in those days and no way to call for help. They were thousands of miles from safety and simply had to wait, in bitterly cold conditions, hoping that the ice would shift and release the ship. Instead, the ice crushed the ship until it split and sank. The expedition now faced disaster.

Frank Wild was 27 years old when he applied for his first polar expedition: a scientific research voyage to Antarctica. He didn’t believe he would be selected, thinking that only large, strong men would be chosen.
Teacher Model Question OnlyWhat can we infer about Frank Wild’s appearance?
It sounds like he was surprised to be chosen. We can infer that he was not a large, strong man. He was probably shorter with a weaker build.
