They've arrived!
Last night the Foxes arrived safely on the east coast of Greenland thereby completing the first crossing of the ice sheet.  The Arctic Foxes have now become the first all female British team to cross the Greenland ice sheet.

The Foxes are now resting and waiting for a suitable weather window before making the return journey using their kites.

They are all in high spirits and are delighted to have completed the crossing.  Jo's knee has resolved itself.

The past couple of days have been very hard with deep snow, driving blizzards and nil contrast.

The Foxes arrived at their east coast camp last night in a white out.  They went to bed and awoke to find the inclement weather had lifted to reveal incredible fjords, icebergs and coastal scenery.

Podcast
The Foxes have just recorded the latest instalment of their podcast with The Sun which is due for release tomorrow.  Jo Fox talks us through the last week and in particular the last few days which have been among the hardest yet.
