The end of the journey is getting closer. After many different turns, we will eventually board the Madrid plane. We also have our Helsinki tickets in our pockets. If everything goes as planned, we’ll arrive in Helsinki at 3.35pm on Saturday.

During the expedition, we have experienced everything between heaven and earth. Today’s photos are, in that way, very appropriate for the last days of the diary. The first things we remember are the space and desolation of Antarctica, nature around us. For one and a half months, sastrugi filled the snowfields everywhere, whether we looked forward, behind or to the sides - just snow and ice and flat emptiness everywhere. Often there was mot a single cloud in the sky. In the photo there’s one of the very few.

When living so completely in nature, you sense your environment in a new way. One of the best things on the expedition was realising the uniqueness and eternity of the icy surroundings. We would like to keep it that way.

    Very well done guys:
    I enjoyed reading everything you wrote and doing all that reporting must have been a big effort. I could hear the snow squeak and the tents rattle through these descriptions.
    see you ISPO?
