Today the team called to report that they have been delivered to the ice on schedule. Everyone is in high spirits and all are looking forward to the journey ahead. They departed Longyearbyen today in the mid afternoon and made the uneventful flight in approximately 2.5 hours. The smell of dog breath wafted through the air of the plane as the 8 Greenland huskies panted away in the cargo area.
The Borneo basecamp from the air.
The helicopter that will transfer the team to 88 degrees.
The team called from Borneo where they were making last minute preparations for their helicopter shuttle to 88 degrees, where they will likely spend the night and start moving North tomorrow.
