It has been windy out lately. And the thing about wind is that it gets us moving. The ice has been trucking along quickly to the north, and with the recent drift we have finally moved north of our original installation position and are now on our way towards the North Pole. For a while there we were a bit nervous about the southerly drift or our first couple weeks. Of course we knew that eventually things would turn around, but it still felt strange to be headed in the wrong direction, towards Siberia, for so long. But now it finally feels like we’ve made our way into the Transpolar drift, starting to move towards our final destination on the other side of the Arctic.
