Mike rings at 1600hrs to report about his day:

'We were in and out of the pack ice again today, but we still managed to do 15-16kms. We have a slight NE drift with southerly winds at 5-6metres per second (20km/hour) and blowing snow. Luckily for us the winds blew away the snow so it was not as deep as it was yesterday. The sledges were more willing to follow us today. Milder temperatures today. Around -27°C without the windchill and -40°C with.

We're preparing our dinner now. It's so good to get hot food into your stomach at the end of the day.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!'
