On December 27 in the morning, after the non-stop drive for 24 hours a day since Christmas Eve, the swedish team finally arrived at the meeting point. Besides the celebration parties with wonderful meals and drinks, a lot of exchanges were made between the parties on polar research, scientific instruments, travel techniques, vehicles and future collaboration. I and Hiroyuki Enomoto (Kitami Institute of Technology) moved to the Swedish team to take a part of their return trip to Wasa.
