John Dowd North Pole 2010

I regret to inform the blog that the Irish team have been evacuated from the ice. John has formed painful frost bite on two to three fingers in his left hand, this can occur due to many factors associated with being in -40 degrees conditions. It is conformed that the team left the ice last night Irish time. The team are all well and John is in good spirits, I look forward to talking to him very soon to give another update. Rebecca Dowd
