Good visibility, light wind but lots of heavy ploughing through sticky snow..no ice at all today.
Pressure Cracks
The ice makes for much faster travel..
My sled “Scellig” wasn’t so happy either.

Took a chance at staying closer to the shoreline.
It paid off today.

Covered 32.6 km.
Now camped close to Listvayanka.
Wanted to cross the bay and get more protection from the wind.
The wind has really picked up over the past few hours.
Definitely looking forward to dinner this evening.
