Well, it’s the evening of Christmas Day down in Antarctica for our Vinson team, and I think it’s safe to say at this point, they are a bit sick of the colour white and would rather some blue skies to celebrate.

Unfortunately, I don’t have better news for you yet, it’s a whiteout down there at Base Camp currently, so there will be no flying again today. The forecast does look good between the 26th – 29th, so let’s hope I can update you all soon with some new, (& better) news.

Mike did say the team were holding up extremely well considering and had displayed some serious mental strength and patience in what has been a trying delay, especially over the holiday period. They all have supplies and fuel but I think they’ll be swapping books and magazines around by now with so much time relegated to waiting in their tents.

I’ll keep you updated and feel free to email me if you would like to info[at]climbingthesevensummits.com  – I’ll be here all holidays and on standby waiting for the phone to ring so I can pass on the good news to you all.

Here’s to that saying ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’

Cheers

Caroline (CTSS Team)
