Pre-trip briefing
Team left Punta, exactly on schedule, early this morning. They boarded the IL 76 and are heading to the Ice. Flight to Union Glacier will take about 4 hours. If their luck continues, they might even be at Vinson base camp before day’s end. Great start. The team will definitely be spending Thanksgiving in the middle of Antarctica.
