Two degree team makes more miles, one degree team soon to join them...

The two degree doglsled team reports today that they had another "blue-bird" day and their progress reflects the fact that they are not only efficient, but also fortunate to have such good travel conditions! The team passed several rubble zones that a mere week ago might have been a nightmare to navigate. Their experiences the past several days are excellent practice for what is still a long journey ahead and the team appears ready to face the challenges. Today they made approximately 10 nautical miles ending at N 88.43. Make sure to listen to Nancy's audio update below! 

Leading the team North!


The One Degree Dogsled Expedition with Wendy, Ken and Rick has landed at Borneo for 2 days of training. They jump started their journey with a short tour with the dog teams, allowing both dogs and people to work out any kinks in their systems and to get some practice with their routines. On the 16th they will meet up with the Two Degree Dogsled Expedition (Tony, Paul, Chris & Nancy) and the two teams will complete the last degree to the North Pole as one expedition.

The Borneo basecamp where Wendy, Ken and Rick will spend the next two days training.

Make sure to listen to Wendy's report update from the ice and check back tomorrow for another update from the team!
