MIKE DATA LOG

Temperature: -16° (and dropping)
Progress: 700 metres per hour

DAY 5: LARGE LEEDS SLOW PROGRESS...
Email from Mike: 'Very difficult day, a lot of open water and small pieces of ice floating around, temperature slowly getting colder -16°. We had to cross about 15 leeds and our progress is about 700m/h. We are still battling against the drift. The darkness has a big influence on our progress. The biggest piece of ice we had been on must have been 400m diagonal. It took hard work and concentration not to go into the drink. We will be drifting south again tonight so I better get some sleep. Mike & Borge'
