Day 28: What an amazing final day! Yes, FINAL! We made it all the way off the ice cap at 2130 after a long day of pathfinding in a maze of ice. Absolutely beautiful but quite draining as it was up and down and around for the last 20 km averaging at a speed down to 1 km an hour in the most difficult parts. At times we were wondering if the coordinates we were using were a practical joke, but it probably was not although it was more difficult than we had imagined. The weather was perfect and the famous melting water was nowhere to be seen! A no less fantastic way to finish the crossing!
