Word has reached us this evening that the three-member Norwegian expedition has arrived at the North Pole today, April 24th. Cecilia and her trusty companions did a magnificent job! They now belong to that rare breed of human being to have reached the North Pole Unsupported, i.e. with no material re-supply.

We, The North Pole Expedition of the Airborne Rangers Club of Finland, salute you. It is our sincere intention to add seven Finnish names to that select list in two days from today.

Our own day was good. The weather was kind to us, and the terrain was fairly negotiable. The only obstacles to slow us were a couple of challenging leads that needed crossing. The distance traveled today was somewhat less than on previous days.

Distance remaining to the Pole: 55 km
Skiing days remaining: 2

All is well with the Expedition.
