Robert asked:"Who do these people think they are?" I believe the perspective of the Arctic Challenge is: "Who do you think you are?"...Given that you enter and must be selected. And, "Are you good enough to compete?"...Given that it's an arctic competition, and the judges must be persuaded to select you.
After all, there will be polar bears. Which, in the event of outdoor competition, is a moderate increase in risk even for those who regularly negotiate bureaucratic ills or political warfare. Enjoy.
