Rushing away from the North Pole

(11.36) We’re relaxing in our tents; we shall keep our campsite where it is, perhaps exploring the area a bit. Tomorrow we may choose to head to a different spot. We are drifting very fast – 9 km just last night! The wind has increased since we arrived yesterday. And that was quite a day, great fun, a great finish where we used the very last of our reserves on that final stretch. Great!

(21.40) All is well and… We are drifting like crazy … and are now 14 km form the North Pole. There is a fairly strong wind … camped near a … magnificent light. All is well up here at the top of the world.
