The helium balloon, after a weather sounding until 1700m, took off again with the camera. On this picture, you can see the 4 dog houses near the boat, the scooter and the sledge at the back, and the 3 tents of a passing expedition. The camera stayed about 10 minutes only in the air, but long enough to empty a new battery, because of the cold. Then, the chosen picture must be highly resized and compressed to have a good chance to reach destination. A satellite phone, connected to a computer, is the only link we have with civilisation.
