16kms today through endless sastrugi. Wind carved waves of snow across our path making skiing very difficult. It’s a bit like dragging two people in bath tubs across a ploughed field. We are settling in to our polar routine now and are feeling very comfortable. We knew the first week would be slow so we’re happy with our progress so far. Strong winds forecast for tonight so we’ve dug in and we’re prepared. Both feeling very strong and privileged to be out here.
