Monday 5th April

The team covered 13 miles today, the ice conditions were slightly better with less ice rubble. The wind picked up slightly from a SE direction. The team are still on foot, not being able to use the skis due to the rough terraine as well as the sledges still being at their heaviest. A polar bear was sighted in the last hour of walking, the visiabilty not great due to near white out conditions. All the team are well and settling into the Arctic routine.
