During World War 2, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill described the Allied supply route to Russia - taken by the Arctic Convoys - as "the worst journey in the world".
Weighed down by heavy ice in freezing temperatures and rolling in high swells, the convoys of allied and merchant navy supply ships were targeted by German planes and U-boats.
