The whole team are nicely settled into Vinson Base Camp (6,900ft or 2,100m)

They came in on two separate flights (twin otters on skis) and have already taken advantage of the day and done a carry up to Low Camp further along the glacier at about 9,200ft or 2,800m taking advantage of the warmer afternoon.

As expected, it’s nice and cold down there, with a rough guess of about -20 Fahrenheit.

They’re currently snuggled up after a long day and will be back on the move tomorrow where they will climb to Low Camp and settle in.

It’s been good weather, but there may be a little something brewing so they’re planning to get in and set up in the event well in advance of any more challenging weather.

Everyone in great spirits, and we’ll keep you updated as they go. Enjoy being warm while you are reading this 😛
