IL-76
IMG Senior Guide Mike Hamill called in today with good news… the team was set to fly onto the ice as scheduled, always a win for a flight to Antarctica.
Once on the ice, teams usually head to Union Glacier Base Camp for a bite to eat. If the weather is favorable, they’ll sort their gear and grab a twin otter flight to Vinson Base Camp. If the weather isn’t cooperating, they’ll set up right there at Union Glacier for the ‘night’. Remember they’re about as far south as you can get, so they’re working with about 24 hours of daylight!
More from Mike as the team makes progress.
