Ready, set, wait...

Today our ski and dogsled expeditions met at 8:30 AM and transferred to the airport only to have the flight called off due to low visibility at Barneo. Our experienced team of expeditions took the delay in stride, knowing that delays are often part of the expedition experience. Everyone enjoyed a relaxing day in Longyearbyen and they await the next chance to fly tomorrow at 10 am. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the weather allows for the flight!

The North Pole Flight team members also spent the day in town. Several of them went on a dogsled outing while others checked out the town and did some shopping. Most of them will be starting their journeys home tomorrow.

The weather in Longyearbyen has been spectacular. Tonight the mist on the Advent Fjord was beautiful with colors of the sunset dancing off the mountain tops and lighting up the valleys.

Check back soon for another update!
