Another sat call came in from the field early Tuesday morning as the mountaineers were packing up equipment destined for the high camp.  After a few days of unstable weather, the expedition woke to a sunny day and a clear view up to the peaks of Urmstonfjellet. The peaks to the north east are nunataks, pinnacles of rock that pierce through a vast sheet of ice. The team have been looking to these rocky faces in search of viable mountaineering routes. The plan has been made to spend Tuesday approaching the peaks, heavily laden with equipment that will be cached in a mountain high camp. With food and equipment cached close to the mountain, the chances of successful ascents will be vastly increased.

In the meantime the kayakers have made their first forays onto the water, with the sea state of the fjord cruel to begin with. The expedition leaders report that Monday was a challenging day with high winds. Weather conditions soon grounded the team on shore which will increase the pressure on them to cover distances over the coming days.
