737 Leg 6 The North Pole - Day 109

We are in Oslo now, but without bags as they got left behind in Copenhagen! They're going to be forwarded on to Longyearbyen, Shocking! It’s really good to hang out with Steve again. It's -10c in Oslo this morning, but colder up north in Longyearbyen, it's toasty in the airport though!

Just bumped in to Christian Eide who I met in Antarctica (Norwegian Christian broke the South Pole solo and unsupported speed record which was previously set by American Todd Carmichael in 1998. His solo, unsupported time was 24 days, 1 hour, 13 minutes and he set off in December like me!)

I was at union glacier base camp when he set the solo unsupported and unaided speed record to the pole so it was awesome to see him again. I also bumped in to a guy called Ivan who Steve and I trained with in Greenland.

It's -22c in Longyearbyen! That's over 50 degrees difference from West Papua! Ha! Rich.
