Cat;lin Arctic Survey at half way point
Today was a landmark day for the team as they reached their 50th day on the Arctic Ocean. Any cause for celebration was naturally short-lived, however, since it looks as if the trend of open water may now become a regular feature of the team's daily travel. in the first 50 days of their mission they covered about 35% of the distance to the pole, beginning at about 81N - they have been taking ice core measurements on the way which is of some, though not that much, scientific value; their meta-mission is to propagandize Posted by: mhw 2009-04-20 |
