Another beautiful day on the Arctic Ocean for the Arctic Fox Mission. Blue skies and calm winds combined with a cool temperature of -26C made for excellent traveling conditions. The team encountered a few more pressure ridges today that required some fancy footwork. The team is quickly becaoming very accustomed to travel on the ice. They are efficient and strong.

We received some excellent photos from the team today, including the sun as it appeared yesterday. You may recall that they were skiing towards the sun all day and now you can see for yourself the incredible view. As the team called in they were making themselves comfortable after a long day of skiing, and getting ready to eat a big meal of mexican chicken with rice.
