On the way to Pond Inlet
Hi, it’s Glenn. We’re on our way to Pond Inlet, but I’ll be brief as we’re in a very mountainous region and the signal is very erratic here. Our position is 72 degrees 42 minutes North, 83 degrees, 36 minutes West. The last few days have been described in the local paper as homicidally cold. We’re in a beautiful region though, it’s a mountainous region and we’re travelling through incredibly deep valleys. But the progress has been incredibly slow because of rocks and incredibly deep drifting snow. So some days it’s been a matter of 2 or 3 miles a day. So it’s very very slow going at the moment but we’re on route to Pond Inlet and hopefully we’ll get there soon.
I’m sitting in the tent at the moment and we’ve had to hacksaw open some tins of stew. And that’s been melted and ready to eat and I can see a leg of caribou sticking out of the snow and we’re going to do something with that as well. Love to all and the weather is beautiful here but cold.
