We are very, very excited, relieved, satisfied and ready to rest. I can’t wait to sit in a chair and get dressed standing up. Stuart sounds great, and Lonnie is very pleased. Wow! What an accomplishment… what a feeling of satisfaction… what an amazing journey. Over the last 53 days we have endured so many challenges: -60 degree temperatures, howling winds, rough terrain, icy water and worst of all, southerly drift. We figure that all-in-all we skied close to 1200 kilometers (650 nautical miles) from start to finish. Though we ate more than 8,000 calories a day, we lost an average of half a kilogram (1.25 pounds) per person every 2 days. A the end, even our shadows looked skinny! We will gather with PolarExplorers’ other North Pole expeditions for a delicious celebratory feast in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen tomorrow (Sunday night). Our current and last position: 90 Degrees North – the Top of the World Day 53 – Success at the North Pole
Day 53 – Success at the North Pole
Day 53 – Success at the North Pole Apr 25. Apr 24.  Thin Ice keeps us on our toes
Day 52 Apr 23.  Midnight Sun Dogs The wind has died down, the race is ON! We’re a lean mean skiing machine, well-greased and as efficient as we’ll ever be. The only thing we can’t control is the weather and the drift, both of which have been calmed down by your persistent prayers… thank you. With some fantastic Strategizing and Coordination, we were able to cross paths with Rick Sweitzer and his teams, who were carrying our missing food: the second resupply only delivered 10 of the 15 days of food we were expecting, so Rick carried the remaining 5. Thank you Rick!!! We are now packed and loaded, and nothing, I repeat nothing, will stand between us and the North Pole.
