Our friends are parked waiting for the ice to melt in the Northeast Passage.
At current melt rates, it will be at least 10 weeks before the Northeast Passage opens. But the sun is getting lower every day and melt rates will start dropping in the next week or two.
There is very thick ice (1.5m) along the shoreline which they hope to traverse.
And once again, the area is covered with thick clouds.
