We will almost certainly leave tonight, when all the bits and pieces have been done, phone calls made, ice reports collected...
There is a 20 kt easterly forecast for Queen Maud overnight then to NW - not the best and may further block Franklin but I think we have to be there to take any opportunity that opens. AGW, about 3 days to Taloyoak (used to be Spence Bay) where we can wait in reasonable comfort for a week or two if necessary. Won't be easy but necessity dictates.
Photos - Wreck of Amundsen's Maud and an inuksuk (or perhaps an inunnguaq).
