Another day has come and gone in Antarctica. Weather just isn’t right yet for the plane to be called. Keep in mind, it’s close to 2000 miles from Punta Arenas, Chile to the Union Glacier. Long ways. And, it’s definitely a VFR (Visual Flight Rules) landing and takeoff. So, Greg’s crew is sitting at Union Glacier waiting to fly home and Mike’s crew is sitting in Punta waiting to fly on. That’s OK. It’s Antarctica!
