As I write this, there is a person walking or trying to sleep at the north pole. Wave Vidmar is on a 600 mile solo accross the tundra, pulling 2 boat-like sleds that weigh 350 lbs. Kinda makes hiking to Iva Bell Hotsprings seem puny at best.

Here is a link to the newspaper story from 3/17:

Here is a link to Wave's website. He is sending email reports and photos daily:

    That's a serious blog he's got going. "The Arctic is getting noisy. With the longer sun hours, things are starting to move, and when the ice moves, it makes noise.

    Today was the hardest day yet. Large pressure ridges, pack ice, and very little in the way of flat pans."

    solo... I wonder if he sings to himself?

    Howdy John, I can't get the page in Linux so I'll have to go there on my Win System. Sounds pretty intense. Thanks for the link and info. Hope you are well.
