Its a few months since our last adventure, but now we are off again

Today we fly to Punta Arenas in Chile, and from ther onwards to Patriot Hills in Antarctica. In Patriot we board a ski equipped Twin Otter plane and fly to around 88 degrees south. Here Fredik Syberg and Borge will ski the last two degrees to the South Pole. On the plane is also Jan Erik Warbo, Sverre Hollie and Staale Samulesen. Jan Erik shall ski alone to the South Pole while Sverre and Staale will fly to the Pole and ski-sail back to Patriot Hills.
