Thanks for commenting, Everybody!
The posts aren't as frequent now, but we still have some stuff from the trip we want to post..
Yup, we drove through Watson Lake, of course, on our way north. I think it was in this area we had our only close encounter with a grizzly bear. Apperantly it...
The flat bed is an Arctic Truck modification of a Toyota Hilux. They have buildt several. Take a look at http://www.arctictrucks.com/pages/4701

Antarctic update
As there was an overland vehicle involved this season as well, I thought I should do a write up on the main events in this year's Antarctic season.
We arrived back home in Norway mid September, and after about four weeks spent with families and friends, we packed our winter...
Things to do after an overland trip
Hi All,
We've been off-line for a while, but are now back in Norway after a great couple of months on the Antarctic continent. Malin was part of the shut-down crew this season, and they flew out on the 11th of February. I've been in Norway for a couple of...
Looking slightly more organized than in my hotel room.... :-) We're being picked up in about one hour to go to the airport in Punta Arenas. I hope to be at the Pole early December. See you on the "road"!
Drive safe and stay out of the crevasses...

Dear friends, fellow overlanders, and all readers,
This post has been looming in the distance for some time now. But no matter how hard we've tried to postpone this part, the time has come. The arrival home, and the final trip report from the unURBAN Adventure through North-...
YESS! Way to go!
Well, we've seen plenty of Land Rovers making it around the world, but there is more than a fair chance my next overland truck is another Nissan. My younger brother said "drive the car you really like, then you'll forgive it when it breaks down". I think that is very true. Safe...
The last couple of hundred kilometers have definitely been a little emotional. It is difficult to get your head around three years of travel and the return to "normality". We are really glad we have signed up for a new season in Antarctica. That will hopefully get our minds away from the "trip...
Driving through Europe
Europe is full of interesting places to see, and it is extremely hard to choose a few. As we have now chosen the route along the Adriatic coast, one stop gave itself: Dubrovnik in Croatia. In August most tourist destinations are packed with people, but hey, it’s now that...
