Day 56 from the Southpole

After two unbelievably wonderful days at the South Pole — with insanely good food, lots of amazing people, and the world’s best camp manager, Maggie Flatland — we have, with heavy hearts, left the heated tent at the Pole and moved back into our beloved Helsport tent… this time without a stove.

We’ve now started our journey north again, back toward Union Glacier. Over the last few days we repacked everything, going from one big sled each to two sleds stitched together side-by-side like a little kite raft. Everything has been padded and secured so nothing can punch holes or fall off once we’re moving.

And today we had a truly great first day back out on the ice.

The forecast is calling for very little wind in the days ahead, so if everyone could kindly turn toward the south and blow a bit in our direction, that would be much appreciated — because without wind, we don’t go anywhere. 💨

Thanks again for the amazing days at the South Pole — it was absolutely magical! 🇦🇶
