Polar Explorer Eric Larsen
Day 40. 87th parallel!
clear, -15 degrees F
23 April 2014
I haven't changed my clothes in 40 days. That's right, I've spent the last 40 days in the same ExOfficio boxer briefs. 40 days in the same Helly Hansen base layer. 40 days in the same Wigwam socks. Its really not that bad.. OK who am I kidding?

Well, it doesn't seem that bad. The gear works and we're warm everything else is superfluous.

We spent the entire day in crazy ice inching back and forth. Luckily, it was totally calm so the ice wasn't drifting south as we were trying to go north and we crossed the 87th parallel.

We are celebrating by eating a Mountain House freeze dried dinner and going to sleep.

Distance traveled: 13.6 nautical miles
