Set to Jet!

Yesterday morning the team attended their pre-flight briefing, at which they weighed their gear, talked flight procedures and learned that in less than 24 hours the Antarctic adventure would be underway. They were scheduled to lift off from Punta Arenas at 6:25 this morning bound for Union Glacier, Antarctica.



The team left the briefing excited for the imminent expedition, obviously, and looking forward to their last "civilized" night out for some time. After resting up a bit they had dinner and hit their favorite watering hole, the Shackleton Bar.

Stay tuned for the team's first report from the field.
