After the medical evacuation we headed back to the ice edge to try and find wildlife. The ice had moved a long way from when we left it. So we kept going further North and West back towards Wrangel Island trying to find the ice edge. Then came the announcement we would make another attempt to reach Wrangel Island.

This morning we arrived at Wrangel Island. But although we could see it we could not land. I think it was about 10 miles to shore. The ice was too thick even for the zodiacs to reach all the way to shore. It was very calm and we did a zodiac cruise around the ice. We got very close to two walrus hall outs. There was a sighting of a polar bear but we just got a quick glimpse and he was gone.
