News from the two Danes is excellent. On 26th April, they set a record, covering the little matter of 136 km in the day. Under full sail, of course...

Once the two companions had collected their new sledges, they set about covering as much distance as they could. "There's not much more we can say," the men write.

Stay tuned: more news in a few days' time.
