We See Land & Mountain Ranges - Day 18

May 30, 2011

Day 18 - What a treat for the team today as they finally saw land and mountain ranges circling them after days of snow, snow and more snow! The day met them with ideal snow conditions and a mild 3 degrees Celsius and no wind. They did experience overcast skies which made the view appear flat with no contrast, but with such optimal temperatures, they only wore one layer for most of the day.

Eventually, the team took a right hand turn to ski alongside a fjord and then gave their legs a well deserved rest as they skied downhill 2 km outside of camp. Today's total was 34.5km! Great job team! Current location N65.48.902 W038.56.329.

Tomorrow the team will arrive in Isortok and fly out to Tasiilaq where they will have their final dinner as a group to celebrate their accomplishments. Check out the live webcam for Tasiilaq.

And, check back later for the teams final update as they end of their amazing expedition!
