Some of you have asked for more pictures and here they are since we have time right now while still stuck in Brevig, waiting for my sled... 5 days and counting ! As a friend suggested, I might get the bike that I got stolen in Costa Rica by the airlines shipped here sooner than my sled ! ;-)
Finally, a few have asked what we would have done if the satellite phone did not work when we were floating out on the ice, well... we had an emergency personal locator beacon that we could have have activated, in case of satellite phone failure, and finally, as soon as we will get to Wales, we will get our 2d beacon that is waiting for us up there.
Warning: the pictures might be considered a bit gruesome by some... Pictures below included some of us between Teller and Brevig, the inside of a seal, (check the layer of fat) and blacky evolving ;-) I am using blacky to warn the local kids on how bad it can get if they don't bundle up... Don't hesitate to use it with your own kids !
Pictures were made between Teller and Brevig Mission on Monday Feb 13th , The seal and finger shots were made in Teller on Sunday Feb 12th.

one can see little branches coming out of the ground around us on the trail, on the pictures. THEY ARE NOT TREES ! People cut the branches from bushes in the mountains and bring them in the middle of the bay on their snow mobiles, pierce holes in the ice and bury them there to show where the trail goes across the frozen bay |
