The next morning we came to the absolute edge of the ice cap,a nd I began packing the sled-hut. I was amazed at the space available in the compartments inside -- rather than freezing your fingers while shoving and jamming items into a regular, small sled, here I had plenty of room and could stow gear in a very organized way. I had to balance the load, and it was all somewhat similar to working with a small boat. Image copyright Halldor Kvaran, 2003.
