I know you have all been eagerly awaiting news from the ice and I wish I had the slightly more exciting news that they were all on their way back to you, but the team are unfortunately still grounded at Vinson Base Camp waiting for a weather window to fly out to Union Glacier and then off the continent.

There was a mighty storm at Union Glacier with heavy snowfall so it’s all hands on deck there amongst the local logistics team grooming the runway and shovelling to get ready to take advantage of the next possible window. There could be a small one tomorrow so fingers tightly crossed, but if not, don’t worry,  they have plenty of food and are nice and comfortable. 

This is certainly the nature of an Antarctic adventure.

Cheers,
Caroline (CTSS Team)
