Britain's Prince Harry is still in "high spirits" after more than three weeks in sub-zero temperatures.
The 29-year-old royal is currently on a trek to the South Pole with a group of wounded British servicemen and women to support the charity Walking with the Wounded.
He had been expected to take on rival teams from the United States and the Commonwealth in the race, but the three teams were forced to come together for a non-competitive trek after harsh weather conditions put the race on hold.
However, Harry insists it's been great "to see everybody intermingling with each other."
In a voice blog, he said: "We are three and a half days from the South Pole. I think it is going to come all pretty quickly to us.
"Everyone is in really high spirits. The race obviously got cancelled a couple of days ago - a really good thing that has happened. It is nice to see everybody intermingling with each other, not only every night because we camp together but also during the day.
"It gives these guys a good chance to consider how they feel, to think about friends at home, to think about fellow friends who are also injured.
He added: "Everybody can't wait and really excited. Spirits are incredibly high. The weather is still holding off, which is really nice - it's about minus 35 degrees now and 24-hour sunlight, which is nice in these tents to keep us warm at night.
He signed off with: "All is well and everyone is happy."
Harry is being joined by 'True Blood' actor Alexander Skarsgard, competing for the US team, and British actor Dominic West, competing for the Commonwealth team.
