Taking an observation at the pole

As I write, this I'm looking out of my window of the Fefor hotel in Norway at a wintery landscape of mountains, forest and an ice-covered lake - the same place where Amundsen, Nansen and Scott planned their historic expeditions to the poles. That I'm here with a team to plan our future polar work is an inspiring and humbling parallel.
