Schedule

Today we received our preliminary scheme.
All flight have already been booked for a while - most of the team is flying on March 28 to Oslo, and on March 29 form Oslo to Longyearbyen (Spitsbergen) - and arrival on our homebase for the expedition is foreseen March 29 in the evening.
Vicaar, the Russian company that is taking care of us dropping on the ice (yes, the Russians control the Artic) promised us that our team would be the first to be on the polar ice in 2010. What a privilige!
Thursday, April 1st at 17h30 we will be receiving a briefing in the Warehouse of Longyearbyen. Luggage check in at 18h30.
On Friday April 2, we will have an early flight at 4am to Barneo Ice Camp. This is the base station from where all expeditioners start. During of the flight is app. 2,5h. After arrival and unloading the plane, there's another meeting. If weather permitting, we will start on our adventure right after the meeting. Otherwise, waiting... waiting on the right conditions to start. And as experienced on our preparation expedition in Iceland, next to a good health, right mindset, you need a lot of patience...
