The team left Resolute Bay 11am local time. It was a successful day covering eight miles meandering through challenging ice rubble.
Temperature -21 degrees with very little snow cover. These conditions are challenging as the team need good snow cover for making fresh drinking water. Drinking melted snow that is close to the sea ice has a high salt content, so dehydration can be a problem.
A number of bear footprints have been sighted. The team camped at the edge of the ice rubble last night having to use ice screws to secure the tents in position due to lack of snow cover.
Good first day. Morale high. Everyone well.
