Thursday: Børge called inn this morning and told they were on their way to the airport. And 09:20 they sat on the plane!
That was about time. Because the volcano cloud from Island is homing in on the Svalbard region. So another delay could have been long!
The wind has died down up there, and conditions seem good. The plan is to land up on the ice runway at the icesheet were the Barneo base is. Hopefully they can get the helicopter to fly them straight out to their starting point this evening.
We’ll find out!
All set. Here are the guys loading the sledges into a taxi to head off to the airport.
We’re in River Falls, but with you in thought and spirit, Ruth! I’m enjoying the pictures and comments. I see you there…unbelieveable…I’m staying tuned!
