22nd day on skis, no days off. Today we skied 8.5 hours. Less than 400 km to go. That's great when you have completed over 500 km. We had great conditions today. We did 29 kms The mind, you have a lot of time to think. Whether skiing ahead or staring at the skier ahead of you. Scary place my mind after 21 days to think. Can be rewarding and just plain dull. When you start to think of actually reaching the pole you have to stop yourself except you have a glove and a ski pole in hand. You have to remember it is 14-15 days of 8 hour skiing away. I think of home but you can't dwell on it, it doesn't materialize. Either does much else. I just stare at the details of the sled in front of me.
That's all for now,
George, Antarctica.
