A week or so ago we asked you all to offer up your best captions for this picture – and were absolutely inundated with responses both here and on Facebook. Poor old Brian was given the task of creating a shortlist and, after not an inconsiderable amount of time one night, he whittled more than 150 suggestions down to just seven to put before the rest of the team to vote on independently. After…

Post your idea in the comments field below. The Ice Team will chose the winner… and the prize!

Thank you to everyone who has sent in a picture for our Photo Competition.

Today we are offering you the chance to win Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ Montane jacket in our latest photo competition. It is the actual jacket which he wore on The Coldest Journey expedition (see image) before he was forced home with frostbite and is therefore a genuine artefact of polar exploration history. The Ice Team are currently camping in perhaps the most remote place in the world. So our…

Believe it or not I am in ‘the tent’ trying to use the GPR. With me inside the tent is an insulated plastic box which we modified to house the GPR and several hot water bottles to try and keep the unit warm. The tent is trying to shelter me from a 30 knot wind and keep the drifting snow off the GPR unit. It worked to a limited extent but it was pretty uncomfortable and very hard to use the GPR…
