Catlin Arctic Survery to be extracted 500 km short of goal
Now that the end is in sight (it's expected the Ice Team will be lifted off the ice later this week), the three, independent of the others, has been reflecting and commenting on how one of the many truly positive aspects of the expedition is the way in which they've worked so well together.In 70 days they failed to cover 50% of the distance; they suffered from the elements, endured -50C temperatures but they made some minimally valuable measurements; sucked up a lot $ from Prince Charles and the other sponsors and left a bunch of nearly empty oil drums on the ice to pollute the environment.
