A hearty congratulations to both Meghan Buchanan & Lucy Rivers Bulkeley who summited Vinson in style today! They dug deep and pushed  the accelerator a bit to beat some weather and topped out before dropping all the way back to Base in one push. An incredible job and the icing on the cake of their Antarctic expedition with both achieving a successful ski to the South Pole & summitting Vinson!

The whole team is together chilling at Base Camp and while the weather looked like it was going to give them the opportunity to fly back to Union Glacier today, it wasn’t meant to be with the window closing quickly. They are hopeful for tomorrow or the 9th (which is their scheduled return in any case) Fingers crossed for clear skies down on Vinson so they can wave goodbye and head home to you!

Cheers
