On the evening of April 9th, prior to leaving for the Barneo Ice Camp, the Global Expeditions group had dinner at the Radison Hotel in Longyearbyn, Jeff Dyrek briefed us about the base and schedule for the flight to the pole. We also had a sampling of Polar Bear, Whale, and Seal meat at the dinner. Everyone enjoyed the fine food and drink in anticipation of the coming adventure.
