737 Leg 6 The North Pole - Day 120
Travelled 18.4km today, -39c with windchill. Tough ice condition and lots happened today. Climbing down off a big pressure ridge I fell and my pulk landed on my head. I was dazed. Steve had a fall too. We almost got caught in 2 flows moving together. Half the team had climbed over when it started groaning and the ice just disappeared and water gushed up to form a pool. The ice has changed its drift, we now have negative drift. Since setting camp up 3hrs ago we have moved 1.5km South! Steve melted his inner boot too, it’s contagious! He duct taped it together. We are feeling good and happy.
We did top 5 meats and why, top 5 pub meals, top 5 seafoods, top 5 bread-based snacks…we were hungry as you can tell! ha! Also did top 5 favourite bits of kit out here, top 5 board games and Steve’s mum’s top 5 she posted on facebook!
