DAY 15 22/05/2015 THE ICE CALLED US BACK. WHAT ?

What a day ! We started this morning packing our backpacks hoping to get out of the glacier. Our goal was to reach the top of a 900 meter mountain before going down on the other side and camp near by Great lake. After 2 hours of struggling with our 40 kilos backpacks we decided to turn back.
 

 
The bushes were too dense!! But we still managed to get a good overview towards the glacier terminus. Back on the ice, we battled the rest of the day until we finally reached the glacier front. We screamed of joy! We were exhausted though. Tomorrow is our last day of food, we need to paddle across Great Lake and then be picked up in the morning of the 24th by a boat. Border line we were! But success across the whole ice cap!!
