Nilson continues his voyage to the South Pole. Still we do not know who is accompanying him.

Fascinating report from Nilson on 11 December : "... Imagine that you pull a 100 kilo sled. Then add that you pull the sled 700 meters uphill in one day. Then add that you do this in Antarctica. That is todays report. Heavy like hell, but beautiful. ..."

On 8 Dcember, he had reached this position : 71°35'24" S / 10°31'19" E.
