They had been planning to set off for the tundra when they met Master Blodwen and went straight for the meteorite. However, the route was farther now.
The plan was to conduct a general search of the northern isles, from the southernmost Bolshevik Island to the northernmost Komsomolets Island.
When they had captured Blodwen, they could get two meteorites from him. Naturally, they had to go to Blodwen's territory to get the meteorites, and his camp was located on Komsomolets Island, exactly at the opposite extreme of their position.
The journey from Bolshevik Island to Komsomolets Island was almost across the entire archipelago, but the trip was worth it to get hold of the meteorites.
Like Steve and the Ford brothers, Blodwen came from a wealthy family and was well equipped. He came to Bolshevik Island from Komsomolets Island in a Mi-171 transport helicopter!
