Day 4

April 19:
Current position is 89° 13’ 664” North.  Another rather challenging day of travel as the team again encountered quite a few open leads and many “team building experiences”.  They were able to navigate around the leads but they definitely impacted the team’s progress to the north.  They had flat light- cloudy conditions with minimal sunshine, making it difficult to see the contrasts in the snow and ice.  They progressed 5 nautical miles as the crow flies, over 7 nautical miles including negotiating around the leads.  All are in good spirits- tired but satisfied with their day of travel.
