Pen Hadow solo expedition

March 28, 2003 - Pen Hadow's solo ice trek towards the ever elusive North Pole continues. His latest update came in on Wednesday after ten days on the ice and Pen's position was 83 31 N 74 15’W. In total he had managed 26 nautical miles, three of them walked that day. There remains a total of 390 miles before reaching the Pole.

No backwards drift

The weather has been sunny with very low winds and temperatures at -44 degrees below zero. The ice conditions have consisted of large wide pans interspersed with pressure ridges. During the last couple of days there has been virtually no drift backwards during the night making progress easier.
