Today the team spent the day reviewing important expedition procedures and routines, and prepping their kits for the expedition. As a team they discussed everything from satellite communications and first aid kit contents, to the most effective ways to pack a sled. They went through all their food and split the group gear so that each person's sled could be packed and transported to the airport for tomorrow's flight to the ice.
Energy bars, oatmeal, cheese, chocolate, nuts.
The team will eat close to 5,000 calories a day.

Sleds are packed and ready to go!
Now the team is relaxing with at will be their last "indoor dinner" for some time (delicious Thai food). They are prepared, eager, excited and likely a little nervous for the coming adventure. Tomorrow they plan to fly to approximately 89 degrees north in the afternoon. Make sure to listen to the audio report below and check back soon for another update from the team!
