We started the day with some horrible ice that we could not find a way out of.
But there is always an end to the rubble somewhere and finally we found our way onto decent ice. The result was our best daily mileage yet with 7.9 nautical miles in 8 hours of travel.
The temperature was a frigid -34 F in the morning, and -30 F by evening but it was sunny and beautiful.
Ellesmere Island has disappeared beyond the horizon behind us helping it feel like we’re making real progress.
We are working extremely hard, and have upped our caloric intake by eating 2.4 sticks of butter a day in breakfast and dinner.
Our current position in degrees, minutes and seconds is N84.18.25, W78.12.16.
