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
