L'explorateur Mike Horn, ensanglanté

View this post on Instagram Expedition Update 34: Safe to say that Ive had easier weekends in my life as an explorer. After last weeks endless obstacles and difficulties, @borgeousland and I are grateful to start the new week with a fresh mindset. Today, despite our sores (as seen on this photo), we are feeling tired but unstoppablewe know the end is near, so now, we must gather up the strength we have left, and fight to get there. What better way to start the week than with a massive storm?! We therefore had no choice but to set camp and wait for the chaos to pass before we can confidently venture outside again. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise in some weird wayour bodies were really in need of some rest after the physical and emotion exhaustion we went through over the weekend. Although we have rarely been in such a bad storm, the bright and uplifting side is this! Finally the wind is in our favour pushing us towards the south, rather than back to the north. This good news certainly gave us an energy boost, and the confidence that maybe we will be able to end this expedition the way we have initially planned. This unexpected turn of events must be due to all the positive vibes you have been sending our way. @AnnikaHorn and @JessicaaHorn have been updating me with your messages of support and I can only admit that this has been giving us the kick of energy we needed. It is a hostile world up hereand the constant unstable conditions have made it quite clear that we are not welcome here. In some twisted way, I ask myself if nature has been taking it out on us because of the manner in which we humans have been treating and respecting our planetone thing is certain, something is obviously not quite right. With just over one week of food rations left, we are carefully planning each and every next step. We are longing to get home, but there is no giving upwe are here to fight until the very end. Thank you all for your heart-warming support, we will be keeping you closely updated! #NorthPoleCrossing #Pole2Pole #MikeHorn A post shared by Mike Horn (@mikehornexplorer) on Nov 25, 2019 at 6:30am PST Les explorateurs Mike Horn et Borge Ousland sont partis en à la traversée de l'océan Arctique le 25 septembre. Une durée de trois mois en ski qui pourrait être compromise à cause des changements climatiques... Les deux hommes se sont retrouvés en difficulté ces derniers jours : gelures, retards conséquents, le challenge est périlleux.
