I have to say that this part really took me by surprise, especially given that we are still well into winter and this was quite far north. I really hadn't expected it!

PS: Internet not working for us either, but the moving map was, interestingly.

PPS: I also took a pic exactly at the North Pole! I won't post it because you can see absolutely nothing on mine, but it's one of those cases where I'd argue that me knowing that i took it right at the North Pole holds more meaning to me than a decent image without the personal ownership of it! If I'm entirely honest, the landscapes around the arctic are repetitive and I suspect many people would find them a bit dull.
