Weather: -29F, Wind 6.7Kn, Alt 10,434, Clear & Sunny
Greetings all,
Hope this email finds all doing swell...oh, speaking of swell...wish I was surfing!
Flew a 17 hour day yesterday to our longest site way out at the Northern edge of the plateau. Very long day to be sitting in a Twin Otter.
Got our ground time down to 1.5 hours installing the seismic station as we both (mountaineers and scientists) went to this site together. It was -41F on the ground with 10Kn winds however, it's odd for me to say, but it felt sunny and warm.
Today is a short day and I am taking break as I may fly to our high camp in the next few days.
We were visited by an expedition party that arrived at the Pole yesterday morning. They had skied in from the coast and along the way, camped at the actual Pole and are awaiting pick up. They are a mixed bunch from the UK, New Zealand and USA...now those dudes are crazy!
Hope all is well and hope to update one more time before headed higher.
Take care..be safe..stay warm
'Till Then,
Tayloe
