The Manx team faced driving snow and temperatures as low as -27C to raise funds for Isle Listen.
A team of trekkers from the Isle of Man battled driving snow and injuries in an Arctic challenge to raise more than £60,000 for a mental health charity.The group walked in snowshoes for nine hours on some days, and slept in huts with no electricity.
The 12-person Expedition Limitless team, which included 10 people from the Isle of Man, followed the Kungsleden trail in northern Sweden, which runs through the Arctic Circle.Trekker Gill Baker hurt a muscle in her hip early in the challenge, and was almost forced to withdraw on the penultimate day as the pain intensified.
Ms Chambers said the "amazing amount" raised would help Isle Listen to continue offering one-to-one counselling and teach Manx schoolchildren resilience skills.
