Welcoming a new year, the BAFFIN YEAR of 2009!

Vera and Kristin spent newyear in a tent in the swedish mountains together with three other friends. The purpose was to test equipment, and we are happy to have decided what tent to bring on the expedition. Helsports Spitsbergen camp 4 will be our transportable castle on our travels on Baffin Island.

Early morning at camp.

Pulling pulkas with half the weight of what will be dragging along on Baffin made us realize that some more physical training needs to be done.. We are strong, but yet not strong enough.

Kristin is satisfied with her new skiboots.                    WInterwonderland. Vera is pulling hard.

Hunting Babe! Vera has just shot her first ptarmigan on new years eve.
