Since I last wrote, Salvatore and Stephen have left for home. They had a very successful journey to the North Pole and were as happy as could be. – Nothing pleases me more. That makes it really worth it for me.
In the meantime my new team has gathered in Longyearbyen. Together we will challenge the Last Degree to the North Pole. That is going to be a 110km adventure that will be with us for the rest of our lives.
Among the participants is my son Max who happened to turn 21 yesterday! We all found some time to celebrate, though most of the day we packed, checked and prepared everything for the expedition.
The plane is set to leave Svalbard at 1600. All is set, all of us are very well prepared, and the weather is good. It is GO!

Gratuler Max med vel overstått bursdag. God tur mot nord til dere begge to. Vi følger med dere på turen.
What a wonderful thing to be taking a trip with your son along to help. Happy Birthday to your son, and Happy Birthday to you at the end of the month! Safe journeys.
