Shaune Adderley and Mark Roberts.

Getting there is only HALF the battle!
Bahamian explorers Mark Roberts and Shaune Adderley, who made it to the North Pole last Friday with the Bahamian Flag, have been having a tough go on their return home. The duo are using texting as their main method of communication with home, and just sent word that they have luckily survived a scary and dangerous experience through blizzard conditions. They are now safe at Barneo, an ice base camp sponsored by the Russian Geographical Society.
"Their Facebook page is being run by family and friends, and on April 20, a post reads, "Missing family, friends and country. We were rescued yesterday from ice patch we were on. Thank goodness...
"Today we are in blizzard conditions, no planes can get us from Barneo. It is looking grim. The Russian base is friendly and we have barrack style tents, but still no showers. We really need the prayers and positive vibes of our nation to send us a clear bit of weather so we can return home safely. We have accomplished an unbelievable challenge and took the flag to the top of the world. Our entire team of explorers, the New Zealanders, guides and dogs need local media to spread the word to pray for a safe return.
