Vinson Massif: Ready to Fly
Tuesday, November 25, 2025
Shortly after breakfast, Tim and I turned our duffle bags over for weigh in. We received our boarding passes for the flight to Antarctica. We’re set!
It seemed like the perfect time to stretch our legs and so we set off to the south along the shoreline for several miles. Our goal was the picturesque old hulk of the ship “Lord Lonsdale” We were back at the hotel by midday which was perfect timing as the afternoon and evening brought steady rain. We got in a bit more exercise anyway, walking to dinner to join some of the folks who will be alongside us on Vinson.
It was a fine gathering with plenty of excitement for what tomorrow may bring. The flight is on for tomorrow morning but of course we are anxious to get confirmation of that good and early tomorrow.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
