Just a quick note from the ice to say hi and let you know we're still plugging away. We are skiing 12 one-hour shifts per day and it is tiring to say the least and we are getting four and a half hours of sleep each night.

Luckily, the ice has been decent and there have been only a few leads.

If you get a chance, please head over to facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EricLarsenExplore) where there is a sweepstakes to win a lot of great gear from our project partners. Without their awesome products and support an expedition like this would not be possible.
