whiteout and sastrugies
Day 20:
Whiteout and sastrugies all day.
It is like skiing in a pumpkin-field with a blindfold. We put our heart to it and did 24,4km in 8 stretches.
Upphill all day made it to be hard work. Especially on the arms, who constantly save us from falling in the meter-high sastrugies.
Nevertheless, we are a happy team :)
on the road again
Day 19:
On the road again. Nice morning, sunny and calm. The clouds thickened later, with whiteout after lunch and for the rest off the day.
Smooth surface.
25,8km.

Day 17.
Did 27,5km in 7,5 hours to get to resupply number 1.
Very cold temperatures, -37 with the windchill factor, but we are really happy campers at night after picking up SNUS, ham, cheese, salami, wine, cappuchino and sausages!
Tomorrow we have a rest day, so we will eat, drink and sleep for more or less 24 hours.
Life is great and spirits are high!
