		<description><![CDATA[We are in our tents for the very last time this season – at least on the Arctic ice. The helicopter picked us up at 6pm this evening and flew us to Ice Station Barneo, where we are now camped. Earlier today we left our camp on the North Pole and headed south. We had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are now camped at the North Pole, which we reached at 21.15 Norwegian time. Our journey on the ice started as planned 10 km from our destination, and after five hours we reached the Pole. Conditions have actually been more challenging than for the “last degree” expedition; there has been considerably more pack ice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re back on the ice again! Everything went according to schedule yesterday; the logistics have been flawless for these three expedition. This is my list trip to the North Pole this year. On the 29th of April the Russians are closing down Ice Station Barneo, a base that has to be re-established every year. Four [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must admit that we have had a most active and entertaining day. We did, however, get off to a late start, not leaving camp until 1pm. The camp, which we had shared with the Russians, had long since drifted far from the North Pole. Our first chosen task was to find an open lead [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(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, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the night, the ice drift carried us one kilometre south and two kilometres west. When we woke up, our camp was slightly more than 24 km from our goal. Also today we took our turns in the lead – that is, everyone except me. I brought up the rear, relaxed and enjoyed my “holiday”. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have had another great day, having progressed 21 km. Today we had a double challenge: lots more pack ice and weather conditions that made navigating much more difficult. There has been a “whiteout” almost all day, which makes it quite a task to keep the direction we want. So we are very pleased with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we had the great pleasure of experiencing one of the finest days up here. It’s been –22˚C, wind still, the sun shining from a cloudless sky, and billions of snow crystals glittering in our surroundings. We put another 24 km behind us without encountering any problems. The only incident was when a tent pole [...]]]></description>
