NWP Expedition Team Update - April 16, 8:08 PM PT
The Northwest Passage Expedition team had an excellent day of driving. Covering over 100 km, they are now in shouting distance of Cambridge Bay! They are parked for the night by the Southernmost Finlayson Island. Tomorrow, they will drive north along the island chain to Long Point, to avoid blocky ice seen in radar images from space by Mission Support, as well as reported pressure ridges. Indeed, the ice approaching Cambridge Bay has been increasingly blocky today. Everybody is healthy, warm, and having fun. The team is looking forward to an expected arrival in Cambridge Bay, after a drive from the landing area at Long Point.
