The others left for Patriot Hills four hours ago. First, however, the pilot picked up Svante’s group and flew them to within reach of the South Pole. They have been out there full of determination, skiing ever southward all day long. We can see them on the horizon!
I expect that they’ll reach the station here within three quarters of an hour. I’m donning my skis to go greet them, and to follow them on their very last stretch.
Our plan worked. And the project was as successful as circumstances permitted. In my opinion, everyone has good reason to be satisfied with their own performance, as well as our efforts as a team.
You will hear more from me tomorrow. In the meantime, Svante will no doubt give you a good account of his group’s experience.
A Twin Otter will pick us at four or five tomorrow afternoon, local time, which is four hours after Norwegian time.
Ok, I’m on my way to meet them!
Hello Explorers….I am having serious update/blog withdrawals. I miss the thrill of following the expedition step by step. Where are you guys?????Patriot Hills or back in Chile? How about some photos of you without the face masks?! I hope all is well with the entire team and you are able to celebrate your victory together.love from,Mary Moga.
