Sunday, August 2

Sarah-
Descended the glacier at 3am, as that’s when it’s meant to be the coldest part of the day, whilst negotiating our way over and around crevasses and the rising sun beating down on us, we were all sweltering by the time we finally reached the bottom. One final push down the moraine and we were finally able to catch up on some much needed sleep. Once again we were in the land of the mosquitoes which we had sorely missed (not) for the past week and in the over bearing heat - not necessarily what you sign up for on a trip to the Arctic! Once back at base camp, most of us headed straight for a wash in the river and then caught up on what had been happening while we were gone. The day ended with a gentle paddle relaxing out in the sea kayaks.
