Day 29 Trivia in English (PART 2) Mar 18. ![]() Maxime Chaya Pulling through a Pressure Ridge
Today we upped the ante by clocking 7.25 nautical miles in 7.25 hours. We are getting more efficient with each day! We had a good day today, with mostly pans of ice separated by pressure ridges and dense pack. As we close in on 84 degrees we are happy to report that all is well. Stuart has left a wonderful podcast so make sure to check it out! (below) Our position in degrees, minutes and seconds is N83.57.07, W77.54.42
Day 14 Briefing in English Day 14 Briefing in Arabic Mar 17.
Day 13 Briefing in Arabic Day 13 Briefing in Arabic We made good progress today covering 6.4 nautical miles in 7 hours & 15 minutes. We were lucky to find a frozen lead trending North by Northwest, which we were able to follow for almost 2 miles. Finding a lead to travel on is akin to getting out of bumper-to-bumper traffic and getting on a super highway, with no obstacles to block your progress. A lead running due north is rare, but if it is trending in the right direction it is often a blessing! We also encountered some more polar bear tracks, which always adds some excitement. Stuart answers the question: “How do they go to the bathroom?”
The expedition is as hard if not harder than I anticipated, but I am thankful for our progress and good spirits so far. Our current location in degrees, minutes and seconds is N83.49.52 W77.53.16 |
