It took them 15 days to walk the 56 miles from Alaska to Russian territory. What a couple of weaklings. This should have been a two-three day march at MOST.

Or perhaps you were being sarcastic?

Fifteen days does seem a bit long even when you consider the heaved and broken condition of the pack ice. Must have had to do quite a bit of cutting back and forth and probably covered much more than the straight line 56 miles. However, they are really damn lucky not to have been attacked and eaten by polar bears. Several previous attempts have been turned back after encountering them.
