NWP Team Settling In For the Night
The Northwest Passage Drive Expedition Team checked in, and are settling in for the night, after another leg of 44 km, and reaching 96 km from Kugluktuk. Live tracking data is now being transmitted automatically. The condition of the snow on the ice has improved and fuel consumption has greatly decreased. They are now on the ice just off the coast, and are expecting a long drive tomorrow towards the expected smoother ice. Ice remains thick but very variable. The team is in good spirits and looking forward to sleep! They are finding Moon-1's thermal infrared camera very useful for monitoring crew members as they move around the Moon-1 Humvee Rover in the dark.
