Explorers Ann Bancroft and Liv Arnesen are on their way home. They had to end their trek to the North Pole after series of mishaps. First, a plane accidentally landed on some of their gear. That caused damage to one of Arnesen's snowshoes. That damage, combined with extremely cold temperatures, caused frostbite to develop on Arnesen's toes.
