Today the team reports that their pace is improving, with 24 kilometers
accomplished in 10 hours. They had beautiful weather with temperatures around
-20C and a light wind. Off in the distance they can see two nunataks.
For
those of you who were unable to listen to yesterday’s audio report, the strange
sound that scared the team was the roar of a Twin Otter plane landing just
meters from them. The plane approached from behind them and they didn’t know
that it was approaching until it was right next to them! The plane was on its
way to position their third resupply. As they were passing overhead we organized
for the pilots to drop off a small care package including some new boots for BB
(that’s Bryony). She has had a rough time with the boots she had brought and the
liner was deteriorating. We also sent them a couple goodies, including a
birthday cake for BB (shhhh… it’s a surprise) as it is her birthday on
December 21.
The team sounds happy and in good spirits. Their current
position is S83 45.643, W84 15.672
Dennis navigating. That’s the
chest plate for the compass that allows for “hands free’
use.
Make sure to listen to BB’s update and check back
again tomorrow for another update from the team!
