737 Leg 6 The North Pole - Day 109
Just landed in Longyearbyen, it's great to be back in cold, fresh air, but the cold is a little shock to the system after the last few hotter legs.
The initial forecast having met with the Vicaar team (our team leading this expedition) is that there is a storm and bad weather on the ice clearing at the moment, which might delay us 2 days as we wait for it to pass. We have no ice update as nobody has been on the ice by the pole yet. Very early season. In fact the expeds leaving from the Canadian side have also had to cancel and wait the weather out. Also, in the Spitsbergen area, where we are, there are more polar bears than humans!
