(English below) Man skal ikke komme å si at de får alt gratis. Etter en fin dag bygget det seg opp igjen og på slutten av dagen kom nok en storm dundrene.
TIRSDAG var ok. Det var mildere og det ga bedre gli selv om de gikk i en miks av mye snø og skavler. Men det som gjorde det tungt var at det var full whiteout pga av stormen som var i anmarsj. Så 32km var de fornøyd med.
ONSDAG ble nok en liggedag. Det er et diger lavtrykk i øst som herjer med dem og peiser elendigheter opp på isen og fengsler dem til teltet. Igjen ble det mye god mat og mye hygge. Men de begynner nok å føle de gjerne vil av sted. Det er 3 lange dager igjen, eller ca 130km. Men da trenger de bra forhold og godt vær.

There is nothing like a free lunch. Another storm through itself at them at the end of day 17.
TUESDAY was ok. The temp was up and the snow had a good glide even though they had both deep snow and some sastrugi. But the worst part was that the brewing storm gave them complete whiteout the whole day. Still, they did 32km, and the storm did not hit till after they had set camp.
WEDNESDAY has been another weather day. Lots of sleep, food and joy. But they are itching to get on with it and cross their fingers it will improve tomorrow.
There is (at least) 3 long days left with some 130km to go. But for that they need better conditions. Cross your fingers.
