On the IL 76 soon
Sweet call just now from Mike Hamill. Sometimes things just work out even better than we could anticipate. So, Mike and crew summit yesterday and drop down all the way to low camp that evening. This morning, they descend to Vinson base camp, repack and jump on the Twin Otter and fly to the Union Glacier camp. The IL 76 is on its way to the Ice now and the team will be back in Punta late tonight/early tomorrow. You couldn’t schedule it better with commercial flights!
All’s well in Antarctica.
