Yesterday we were informed that the helicopter would arrive to pick us up during the night – and it arrived just as expected. Half an hour past midnight Norwegian time it landed near our base and flew our expedition group to Ice Station Barneo.
We spent the night there, getting a good night’s sleep in nice, warm tents. Now we are waiting for our flight to Spitsbergen. The aeroplane is due to land here at 3pm, and we shall depart one hour later. We have already reserved a table in one of the better restaurants in Longyearbyen, and shall be celebrating the expedition soon.
Everything is right on schedule.
