Ellesmere Expedition finished. Not without problems
http://www.aftenposten.no/klima/article2464440.ece
According to the article the ice has melted so much that they had to change the route. Also, instead of flat ice on which they could do good speed they had to traverse difficult areas with speed down to just 6 kilometers a day.
They also saw surprisingly many polar bears during the expedition. They speculate that they (the bears) could be so far south because the ice conditions are poor further north.
