Made it to the Artic Circle. Just as I was fumbling around trying to rig up my mini tripod and take a self portrait, this English accented voice behind me in the woods, asked " you want me to take your picture, mate?" Turns out I had stumbled upon Murray Spark, a British bloke that was riding his bicycle from Deadhorse, Alaska, to Tierra del Fuego. In addition, as if that wasn't challenging enough, he's also climbing several mountains as he proceeds south. Why you ask? Both his parents died from cancer, and he is doing this trip as part of a fund raising venture for a British cancer research foundation.
My hat's off to you Murry. Best of luck.
