Day 59 and 60 from the Southpole

Hello there, dear blog! It’s been quiet from us for a few days. We’re still in Antarctica and have now been out on the journey for two months! Time really flies when you’re having fun.

But there’s one thing that hasn’t been flying very well lately — our kite. We’ve been averaging only 1–3 m/s of wind each day, and honestly that’s been the case ever since we started. That means progress is painfully slow, and it also takes a lot more effort to generate any speed at all. You really feel it in your body after having already skied more than 1,200 kilometers 😂😅


The weather forecast for the coming week isn’t very promising either: light winds, whiteout, and snowfall are what’s waiting for us.

Still, we keep pushing forward and take every kilometer we can get! ❄️
