Arctic Sunrise just off Pyramiden, Svalbard (photo: Nugent)

after a long journey and a number of incredibly expensive meals in longyearbyen, tromso, oslo, we've made it back, safe and sound. And for once the sun is shining in Cambridge, so that's good.
It's been an incredible journey and we would like to thank everyone who helped us along the way, there was so much support from all sides, thank you!

Here's a couple more links:

There was a second feature in the Sun, the day after they had the 'where ice comes to die' story, this time a more cuddly polar bear story:

Nick Cobbing was our onboard photographer, and his website is absolutely brilliant, full of the most beautiful photographs, and hopefully there will also be a story on our expedition up there soon:
