Happy Christmas everyone!!

The entire team is safe and sound up at High Camp (Camp 2) ready to make their next move.

They will soon decide whether it will be a Christmas Day Summit or a Boxing Day Summit bid depending on the forecast and what the weather gods have in store. Either way, it’s certainly a white and frosty Christmas for the team down in Antarctica.

Our Last Degree Skiers finally left Union Glacier and flew to 89 degrees to begin their ski to the South Pole! They skied for a few hours this evening before setting up camp. Progressing really well. After their ski they will join our second Vinson team.

Meanwhile our second CTSS Vinson team is currently making their way to Punta Arenas and will begin arriving in the next few hours. They have a few days of PCR tests before heading onto the ice.

Enjoy a safe and happy holiday

Cheers
CTSS Team

Christmas on Vinson
