I’m sad to say, but it is almost the end and me and a few of the fellow explorers are heading back to get another boat that isn’t stuck, as our fourth boat is stuck in the ice. What did we do to deserve this? Late last night, she hit an iceberg, sank a bit and the made her stick to the iceberg, but luckily we had three more boats.

I thought that the ship looked lovely, against the midnight sun, so it was a shame that she was frozen to death. When we pulled up next to the fellow explorers, they struggled to get on. I just loved the shelter that they built. I helped them to get on the boat (they really needed it).

When everyone was safe, we decided to head back to England, but we hadn't realized how much frostbite we had. Some people even had black or white fingers! A few of the crew mates even fell asleep. I felt a bit sea sick, but other than that we were all alright.
