		<description><![CDATA[At 21.30 hours we reached the North Pole! Tonight’s celebration is well earned. We put in twelve and a half hours. Everyone is in great shape, no injuries. I’m proud of them. Now we can all look forward to celebrating before a satisfying night’s sleep on the world’s most northerly point. Tomorrow the helicopter will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After our expedition put in 11 hours on the ice – our longest day yet – we only have 15 km to go before being able to plant the flag on the North Pole. Difficult pack ice and a strong headwind limited our progress to 13–14 km. Each hour we were losing 400–500 metres due [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we faced poor weather conditions, forcing us to “grin and bear it”. It’s been a real fight. The wind gradually increased from a strong breeze this morning to a light easterly gale. Since temperatures were relatively mild (5–10˚C), and the wind was coming from the side, it wasn’t much of a practical problem. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re sitting in our tents again, after a great day during which we put 21 km behind us. This morning we crossed the last two leads in this maze of leads that we struggled with much of yesterday. After that we continued on wide, even expanses of snow and ice. Such conditions allow us to [...]]]></description>

Fortunately the wind gradually died down, and we pressed on all day. The sun even broke trough for a while, and today we saw a seal in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we had abominable weather. It’s rather depressing to lose a whole 10 km due to drifting ice just in the course of the night. The good news is that we woke up to gorgeous weather, and the wind has stilled. After walking for two hours, we found a way to get out of this [...]]]></description>

There is virtually zero visibility and many open leads. We hope to find a way out of here tomorrow. The expedition members are exhausted – but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been an unusual day for us. Bad weather has forced us to remain in our tents. The good news is that the harsh southerly winds have pushed the ice 10 km further north just since last night. So even without skis on our feet, we have made progress towards the North Pole. Our barometer [...]]]></description>
