Leslie that is fantastic. Really puts it in perspective. I bet that the refueling stop in PEVEK. In remote areas like this I am sure there are not a lot options. I bet one day in PEVEK they will do a cultural show and if it is not worth going back a dock sea day wont be too bad.

:LOVED that article on Wrangel Island. I am just excited about going somewhere so remote. None of us really know what to expect on this trip and I find that pretty exciting - an adventure with really good friends. Pretty great situation.
