Fresh news straight from Antarctica,

The team are at currently at Low Camp and spent a rest day building camp walls and cutting blocks so they are well dug in and protected from the slightly unpleasant Antarctic weather. Tough work on a cold, windy day.

The forecast is much the same for tomorrow so they’re likely stay put and keep warm in their tents, enjoying the shelter of their newly constructed walls.

If it is clear in the morning then they’ll do a carry load of gear up to the top of the fixed line enroute to High Camp before returning to Low Camp.

Here’s a little graphic map we made up to give you a better idea. It’s by no means perfect but outlines the route our team are on, and where they currently are.

Everyone happy and sounded cheery on the satellite phone. I know it sometimes feels like updates are few and far between for all of us at home, but the team will be conserving batteries (which don’t like the extreme cold too much) so keep in mind that no news is good news and I promise to keep you as up to date as I am.

Cheers
CTSS Team
