		<description><![CDATA[Well, then we are at the North Pole! The last day we only had 10 km to go, but that proved enough. A 10 m/sec wind made the day more than chilly, and everybody had to take real care. But I must say the two participants continue to impress. We have a lot of fun [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must say the two participants Wong and Fong are doing great. We spent the first day training at the Barneo Base. Then we flew out to about 30 km from the North Pole. It has been pretty windy, 12m/sec, and tough ice with still quite a bit of drift. But we are doing well [...]]]></description>

This time it is some 36000 starters who compete. And it is all about surviving in nature. The final leg is getting and tackling the ice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This trip does not stop surprising. We had a very good night at the North Pole. Had a leisure breakfast, and barely got the camp packed before the Russian helicopter landed at 10:00. We darted back to Barneo, and moments later, at 11:00 (am), the plane for Svalbard embarked with all of us. – That [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We stood at the very North Pole at 13:00. Today we used but 3 hours to complete the Last Degree Journey. But it was not a walk in the park. Last night the drift continued, and we ‘sailed’ some 40° west, all the way from 132° to 90°. That meant we had a pretty sever [...]]]></description>

Today we just calmed down and enjoyed our selves. It was like walking in a park full of fascinating ice sculptures. We [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What we experience now is very special. The wind at the current drives the ice in a northerly direction at a staggering speed. Last night we drifted 9km! It is not directly north, we have taken a sideways sweep of 10°, but we are not complaining. With the skill and stamina of this group we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our first day on the ice proper was a pretty cold ordeal. Down to -30° with a fierce 10 m/sec wind on top meant a very cold baptism. But what warmed us was a stunning effort by the team. We moved 28 km closer to the Pole. And that is phenomenal for first timers. But [...]]]></description>

We were in the air again just one and a half hour later, heading out to our starting point. That flight was quite long as the wind picked up. [...]]]></description>

That makes it really worth it for me. In the meantime my new team has gathered in Longyearbyen. Together we will challenge [...]]]></description>
