Yes, we have reached N89°48’39”, E87°25’34” – and I have good news! Mike’s medicine has started worked; he’s far better today. He was fatigued this morning, but he is definitely improving. We’ve put him on a double dose of medication, so everything is looking good here.
The pains I had in my foot are gone now. My short skis are working well and holding together; there’s no change there. I have many good thoughts, especially now that my friend feels better. I think it’s great to be up here – and I am really looking forward to finishing this journey while enjoying the light of the midnight sun. It’s here now.
We have 21 km to go, and we’re both extremely motivated for the final stretch. Tomorrow we’re looking toward the North Pole – there isn’t much else to say.
We’re following our routine, sleeping soon and waking up at our normal time tomorrow. Then we’re pushing for the Pole on what we expect to be the last day. The weather has already changed; the wind is blowing from the Northwest, so we’ll probably drift a bit back tonight. But we put 25 km behind us today too after walking for 11 hours – so everything is looking good.
We’ll talk more tomorrow, hopefully from the North Pole.
It’s a good new for mike. I hope that tomorow you reach the pole. I’m prety of you two. And every during this 60 days I dream of advanture. You to you are the pice of this wared wold.
best regards

Goos news about Mike. You deserve to get there, fantastic, after so long nothing should stop you now…. GO FOR IT!
Such a relief to read Mike’s health is improving! You are both amazing. Enjoy the final polar stretch and know that so many of us are with you in spirit. Looking forward to the news that you’ve arrived safely at 90 degrees North!
Our fifth grade class has been following your adventure (from Florida) and want to wish you all the best as you push forward tomorrow. You are showing us that the spirit of adventure and exploration is still alive. Keep up the good work!
Good luck to both of you. What you do inspires me alot and it is one of my dreams. Gl

What can one say? Maybe “Ingen over og ingen ved siden”! (meaning noone above and noone on the side) Anyway, well done guys! Come home, have soem fresh food and get yourself an enjoyable skiing trip for once. In Nordmarka we still have 80 centimetres of snow and perfect conditions.
All the best from Randi Skaug
Congratulations Borge and Mike, fab trip, enjoyed following it, Hopefully see you at Barneo or in Longy for a beer.. Charlie
