Eero is living example that expeditions can be done despite the “little” difficulties.
And immediately an update on Eero Oura’s expedition: The second customer decided to quit after the first week of skiing (source in Finnish). So, even though “any fit normal guy with enough savings can go and ski to a Pole”, it’s not for everyone. A (controversal) topic worth of a whole post…
And another update on the Dark Ice Project: The expedition was cancelled a few days ago because of Justin needing medical care. No details yet but there was no emergency or evacuation related, the expedition just returned to Qanaaq, packed their kit away and are returning to England. (Source: @alexhibbert Twitter)
