South African Mike Horn and Norwegian Boerge Ousland covered about 1,800km on treacherous drifting ice in the past couple of months. Because of delays, they had been expected to run out of food by Friday. However, they managed to meet up with two Norwegians sent to rescue them despite a local storm. The latest Instagram update on Sunday showed a picture of the four men on their way to the Norwegian polar research ship, the Lance, which was due to pick them up. (Photo/Agencies)
