3rd of June, after 109 days on the ice we finally made it onto shore at Cape Discovery, were our welcome team was surprisingly waiting for us. With smiles, hugs, cakes and emotion. We felt we had lots of energy left to continue further, but then suddenly all energy is gone. The last 100´s meters to the Twin Otter felt like a mile. But what a moment and relief and what a welcome committee.
-
- 600 meters from shore we met open water. We had been worrying about it; the land lead. We told our self that we were Navy Seals and just could swim across. It was not discussed at all when we hit the water.
-
- After an hour or two walking alongside the lead, very unexpected the Twin Otter appeared! We have told them not to come before we where on shore. Because of bad wether coming to the area the pilot made a decision to do the flight.
A big thank you to all good helpers, supporters, team members, sponsors. We did the trip across, but would have been impossible without all the help and support to build and execute this expedition. 150 persons, organizations, institutions and sponsors made it possible to start off the Siberian coast. Rest is history and we had to do what we had told you we should do; with success. Thank you!
