I have been going there every April since 1993. My 11-year old daugther joins me this year. We are going to skydive there, to fly a hot air balloon over the ice cap and to build a small sauna in Borneo. We tested it last year. It worked! We cut a hole in the ice and dived right into the Arctic ocean to cool our hot bodies. Girls, you are invited! You certainly need a good wash after the trek. My friend Sergei and I used to organize purely skydiving expeditions to the North Pole. We used to hold beauty contests right in the true Pole among our female participants. This wonderful traditional can be revived this year. I wish you good luck, good weather, take care, do not overstrain yourself. See you in Borneo or Khatanga. Mikhail. "

"This one is for Diana: Hi Cinderella, we just came back from Alaska. Our mission was successfull although we did not reach Deadhorse. We "only" crossed the Brooks Range and then ran out of time. So we had to leave from Anaktuvuk Pass after 150 miles. In the mountains we had: between 35 to 45° below for several days, winds up to 30 miles per hour, no trail this year so we had to break our own trail through hip-deep(!!!) powder snow for 20 miles, everyday breakage of equipment that had to be repaired or fixed provisionary, we had to go on river ice for 100 miles and broke through several times (god thanks only with our feet). So we have never, never done such a physically hard, mentally exhausting, technically sophisticated trip like this. On the whole trip we never knew whether it was possible at all or not. We had fear for our lives on the thin ice sections. But in fact we would have gone on to Prudhoe, if we had got enough time left. But to be honest I really missed a non-frozen banana from a good friend throug the tent flap form time to time. I wish all of you the best for the expedition. And tons of super-hard, super- thick, not moving, flat ice. You can make it, if you believe it. Also when it sometimes does not look like it. Trust us, we have just experienced the same. Good luck, we are with you in our thoughts, Oliver"
