Dogsledding adventure and a runway dilemma...

Today was the day our team was planning to fly to the North Pole however an early season weather delay postponed their flight until April 7. With today as an unexpected "free" day the team opted to give dogsledding a try. Sounds easy, but as you'll hear in Antonio's audio update below sometimes it's not as easy as it sounds! They had a great time trying out a new sport, and experiencing the traditional mode of travel in the Arctic.

The traditional mode of travel in the Arctic and the team's new favorite sport!

Against the mountains the dogsledders look like small dots.

Later in the day they learned that the runway on which the plane lands near the North Pole developed a crack. The charter air providers are hard at work trying to resolve the issue and we hope to have further information regarding the timing of the next flight to the North Pole soon.

Check back again tomorrow for another update from the team.
