Return to Union Glacier

Today the team woke up at the South Pole. For the first time in over a week, the team took it easy after finishing breakfast. Instead of breaking camp, strapping on skis and making miles, they toured the Amundsen-Scott Research Station, a scientific research facility located just a few steps from the Pole.

After the tour the team enjoyed a leisurely lunch and then hopped on a plane bound for Union Glacier. At the moment, it looks like they will remain at base camp until the 19th, when they'll fly from Antarctica back to Punta Arenas in Patagonia. For now though, the team will enjoy a nice leisurely change of pace as well as a huge drop in elevation.

Stay tuned for more expedition pictures. Thanks for following!
