Resolutions We fly across some of the wildest country in the world with superb views of rugged ice ranges, ravines of blue-white snows and so many secret and hidden places. Ludwig Wittenstein expounded it as, ‘The mystical is not how the world is, but that it is.’ The flight takes about two and a half hours and Harry makes an easy, smooth touchdown on the Grise Fiord runway. Cecil and Pam meet us together with the refuelling truck. They have heard about the poor weather conditions and know we don’t have any time to waste. However, the ABC crew have

Flowers at Camp Hazen Andy asks us to sign eight, small, white cards as mementoes of the occasion and for his use. We are happy and honoured to do so. I have my own Goldsworthy drawing and message. As if reading my thoughts, perhaps realising it for the first time, Andy says to me, ‘Neville, do you realise you have the only art work that has been created at the North Pole?’ Until then I hadn’t realised the implication myself of what had occurred. It was, and probably is always likely to be, the only work of art actually created
