Hello from Punta Arenas! We arrived at our hotel here after a 36 hour trip - rather epic, but as planned. On route I saw some stunning scenery from the plane, including an erupting volcano with plume of ash rising upwards and lots of glaciers. However I can safely say I am sick of airports and planes for now. We are scheduled to depart for Antarctica tomorrow, depending on the weather.....the Dash 7 aircraft belonging to British Antarctic Survey was on the tarmac at the airport when we arrived, all shiny and red with the BAS logo. Seeing it made me feel very proud of BAS and happy to have been working there for almost 10 years!

ReplyDeleteI have been following the David Attenborough programme on TV and keep expecting you to pop up - but of course the programme was made before you got to Antarctica. Hope everything goes well. Geoff Dunbar
