Rest day on the Arctic Ocean and our second resupply arrives. All is now ready for our final push to the pole. Our goal: April 25th. Date we have to be out: April 26th.

Rest day also means short blog day; however, AJ wanted to send out a 'thank you' to all his birthday well wishers.

Other big thank you's for today. Tim and Elizabeth Harincar from webexpeditions.net. None of the mapping, blogging, podcasts, facebook, twitter or Newsvine contributions would occur without their expertise. Thanks also to Lora and the crew at Scream Agency who has been doing an amazing job on PR for over two years. Of course, another heart felt thanks to Maria Hennessey who, besides being simply amazing, has also been helping with logistics and money transfers.

Kristin from Bing, the crew from Terramar and the University of Plymouth... Yours is a debt of gratitude we will always owe!

The Save the Poles expedition is sponsored by Bing with major support from the University of Plymouth, Terramar, Seventh Generation, Goal0, Atlas, Sierra Designs and Optic Nerve.

Remember, it's cool to be cold. Save the Poles. Save the planet.
