Day 30: An impossible lead, and a premature end
- April 2, 2010

Christina updates us from weather station Eureka, after a difficult few days, and an impossible lead (wide open water) brings an early and unexpected end to the expedition, as Christina is collected from the ice by a passing supply plane, Thurs April 1.
Reporting to Expedition HQ, after a period of difficult decision making, and without northerly progress, Christina discovers that her decision is made without regret, as the open water she is trapped by stretches many miles and will take days to freeze.
Now safe and en route to London, Christina will continue to report, in words and pictures, on the last few days of her expedition, and plans for the future. Do leave your messages of support as comments using the form below.

rosie stancer says: Your journey was never just about reaching a point on a map. You have travelled way beyond any geographic limitations – psychologically and spiritually. And that’s what exploration is all about. So enjoy the memory of your experience and we too will share it with you and celebrate your achievement, bravo Christina.
Kind and WARM regards
Rosie
