The teleconference also included a press conference where the press at Troll had questions for Jan-Gunnar.
Then in the afternoon, the remaining expedition members arrived at the South Pole. It was a moment of happiness when we all were together again. Thus, the expedition has almost come to an end and we are excited having completed this major undertaking. In the evening we had a gathering with some of the NSF representatives at the station.
