Off to a great start...

Despite being dropped off late last night, the team got off to a good start logging 10 nautical miles of northward travel. The day was beautiful, with bright blue skies, calm winds and a temperature of -26C. There were a few team building moments as the group encountered some pressure ridges, but nothing that posed any major challenges. The team crossed a few recently frozen-over leads that were likely a week or so old.

the team had excellent traveling conditions and made good progress.

The dogs pulled very well on their first day. They are tired but happy, just like the team members:) When they called in they were busy melting water for the dogs and frying up some cheesy quesadillas. Check back tomorrow for another update from the team!
