They called in today to tell they reached the Pole already yesterday. They had flow out soon after we spoke yesterday. The weather was great and they went skiing right away. Conditions were top, and at 22:45 they stood on the very top of the world!
They were very pleased. And in they exuberance and delight of getting closer, they even overshot the Pole by 20 metres.
But it was not just plain sailing. The temperatures had danced between -33 to -35°C. Om top of that did they face a brisk breeze straight in their faces. – That means it has been seriously cold. They coped very well, but it can not have been bad to dive into the tent wit mission completed.
During the night they drifted son 3-400m metres away fro the Pole. But basically they just used the day for leisure, taking tons of photos an enjoying themselves.
They even played a visit to some other explorers who also reached the North Pole. – All I all t made for a very good day.
The plan now is to get picked up by the chopper and stay one night at the science base Barneo before returning to Longyearbyen. They all send their greetings to family and friends.
