"I have spoken to Jennifer this morning (Thursday 11th January, 11.30am) and you will probably have seen that yesterday they left Patriot Hills and were heading towards Fowler. But the weather deteriorated en route and they were forced to land 80 nautical miles short of Fowler. So once again they're in whiteout conditions, surrounded by snow as far as the eye can see, back in tents, huddling in their sleeping bags to keep warm and 'savouring' bags of special reconstituted food."


First time on the ice they crash in whiteout nearly killing themselves, second time they get stuck in whitout after knowing it was crap at the fuel but giving it a go anyway..least they landed before they crashed...
