Back in Patriot Hills, Antarctica
Posted by: | January 24, 2010
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Vinson Massif
The Ilyusion landed safely and smoothly a few minutes ago, but it will be another hour or two before we board her for the flight northward. This will be the last time that Patriot Hills acts as the main portal to the continent for climbers. The ALE staff are busily working to relocate the operation to the Union Glacier, some 40 miles away. When we -the last of this season’s tourists- get on the jet and roar off the ice, the move will be made in a matter of days… Tents will come down and a few overland trains of sno-cats and various ice vehicles will drag everything to the Union. But by then we will all be back in the Northern Hemisphere. For now, we should get back to Punta Arenas in the middle of the night… In utter darkness, we hope- it will be our first look at the stars in two weeks.
