Sue’s Pyramid
Just spoke with Greg Vernovage down on the Ice. Yesterday was a big day. The team went down from high camp, all the way to Vinson base camp. Then, they were fortunate to be able to fly over to Union Glacier late last evening. Now, they’re ‘living large’ at Union Glacier. Life there is amazingly ‘cush’ as compared to life at high camp. What a difference a day makes.
It’s simply a matter now of waiting until the weather clears for the flight to Chile. Tentative date for that flight is 9 Jan. That’s when our final team of the season will fly on. All’s good on the Ice.
