737 Leg 6 The North Pole - Day 118
We have travelled 17.3km today. Drifted 2.2km north last night. Making very good progress. We have a really strong team. Our lead Alan Hubert is absolutely awesome and he’s navigating using the sun and wind, assisted by gps. It’s great to learn from the best. Steve and I been using our handheld Garmin GPSMAP 62s and 62 which are awesome.
We are about 40km from the pole but conditions can change quickly so one day at a time. It’s been -23c, -36c with windchill. A tough place to survive. We have had good ice conditions today, no open leads. I am writing this huddled in the tent by the stove! Fingers crossed for another good day tomorrow.
