Happy New Year! The weather cleared and the Vinson climbers are on the way!
Waiting for the flight to The Ice (Max Bond)
The flight in the 757 takes about 4.5 hours to Union Glacier, where they will land with rubber tires on a blue ice runway. Then, with any luck, they will change planes to the Twin Otter on skis, for the flight over to Vinson Base Camp on the Branscomb Glacier.
Boarding the flight to The Ice (Max Bond)
So far so good!
