a little geography lesson. one of the many hurdles, weather, breaking ice, cold etc that we have to contend with is negative drift, this is where the tide pushes the ice away from the pole, unfortunately this is currently what is happening, barneo, which they started building a week ago is now 9 miles south of where it started, so we can have a situation where we ski say 10 miles (that would be a good day) go to sleep and have moved back some of those miles which wouldn't be great for morale.
of course there is a much more attractive possibility and that is positive drift which will push us towards the pole so please pray for that!
