"There were a lot of sun dogs, rainbows -- things I've seen in the high plateau of Antarctica... There were halos around the sun, inverted rainbows, all at the same time. It was really unusual" - Will Steger, May 20, 2019 youtu.be/BCeoqJ8l0tQ

“I have about four full days of food left...Starting tomorrow I’m going to put in a big push to try to get close to the coast - which is about 50 miles away - for the resupply” - Will Steger, May 21, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 59 here: youtu.be/XumnzI1Jt50

It was just total white - no dimension whatsoever... [it was] this vast, featureless plain, there weren't any reference points. It took me a very long time to navigate. -Will Steger, May 22, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 58 here: youtu.be/ZKxF7jRUvQo

I haven't been able to see..these last three days ive been hauling up on the bank, kind of going uphill all the time, but today it was really nice to see the riverbank and the beauty of the surroundings - Will Steger, May 23, 2019 Listen to dispatch here youtu.be/nGmaqyOGTX0

The resupply is on for tomorrow... I'll be picking up probably an extra 75 pounds... I've got some different food coming in - a loaf of bread, a couple oranges, a lemon - which I'm looking forward to - Will Steger, May 24, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 60 here: youtu.be/JLTkYSZW45U

I gave [the kiters] the rest of my food and then I thought, oh man, if they kite out of here and the plane doesn't show up, I'm in trouble - Will Steger, May 25, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 63 here: youtu.be/LdtkA8YFEgo

Last night it was warm, right around freezing. Just a beautiful evening, a little cloud cover like a spring evening in the North. It was suspiciously pleasant. -Will Steger, May 26, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 62 here: youtu.be/JJuAinvJnUw

I found [the kiters] camp...and there was a grizzly bear following their tracks...I did camp out here on the ocean, I don't know if that's going to help...hopefully he's just a land grizzly... - Will Steger, May 27, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 65 here: youtu.be/2_t_VU5AyjA

[The kiters and I] traveled together, which was a lot of fun. Between us we had eight sleds... and when they're haulinug like this, they have them in single file. So we had a regular expedition here! -Will Steger, May 29, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 66 here: youtu.be/VsFWmcdg-7Q

We had trouble last night with the Grizzlies..so we ended up camping way out on the Melville..Theres not really any polar bears in this area, mostly grizzlies that have a tendency to be more landbased. -Will Steger, May 29, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 67 here: youtu.be/c7tKns9HL4k

It was actually a fairly comfortable day -- didn't overheat, didn't get too cold, and was able to protect my face from the wind with a fur parka as the wind was coming in at just the right angle. -Will Steger, May 30, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 68 here: youtu.be/UGImxY7k92Y

My plan is to make it in June 7th. A film crew is coming up June 6th – Sebastian and Natasha are flying up from San Francisco – so we’re gonna do some filming of the trip coming into Cambridge Bay. –Will Steger, May 31, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 69 here: youtu.be/dob_gr7rnz0

I’m about 150 miles or so north of the Arctic Circle, so you can read a book at two in the morning. There’s always light - no such thing as darkness here. The stars won’t come back until the end of August. – Will Steger, June 1, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 70: youtu.be/W4S7o0xBoto

“It was just a fantastic day. There are geese and waterfowl all around here…a lot of sandhill cranes. They’re very territorial -- actually, they challenged me in my tent here about 10 minutes ago.” – Will Steger, June 2, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 71 here: youtu.be/GNQ2-spthjI

I camped last night on the shoreline of the Kent Peninsula, the northernmost part of the North American Continent. I left the continent heading to..Victoria Island, one of the top ten largest islands in the world. –Will Steger, June 3, 2019 Listen here: youtu.be/Sr9ce1Wno60

I started burning out from exhaustion...It was the usual thing: I had to make distance, I had to do a resupply-normal expedition-type situation. I paced myself..and my health right now is just absolutely perfect -Will Steger, June 4, 2019 Listen here: youtu.be/jovyPxqmZOc

The film crew – Sebastian and Natasha – they’re doing a documentary on myself, Antarctica, my eye-witness to global warming. I’m going to meet them tomorrow at a friend’s cabin, a shack on the Arctic Ocean. –Will Steger, June 5, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 74: youtu.be/UPzMMLdPSv8

For myself, taking a trip like this at age 74, with 75 hard days…was physically, mentally challenging but yet a very beautiful experience. A very good thing for body, mind, and spirit, to test your boundaries. -Will Steger, June 7, 2019 Listen here: youtu.be/RJ9zI7Ip_xs

"I’m anxious to get back and see everybody and get in sync with a beautiful summer in Minnesota. I’ll say my final goodbye here on day 75 -- it’s been a really wonderful trip” -Will Steger, June 7, 2019 Listen to Dispatch 76 here: youtu.be/xpt3waXvIKs
