ThePoles.com has brought us an update of events in the Antarctic this past weekend, and following whiteout conditions on Saturday, it seems like things have cleared off, and were much improved on Sunday.
The Polar Quest Team reported hard going, and nearly impossible naviation, in the whiteout conditions, but they continue to make steady progress with 7.5 hours of hauling time in the schedule each day. Other teams include a couple of Kiwi's making their way on skies as well, plus a team or two who haven't even hit the ice yet.
Meanwhile, Adventure Blog favorite Hannah McKeand set off yesterday at long last. Hannah's been training on the ice the past two weeks in preperation for her push to the Pole, and as she set out on her latest adventure, she was welcomed by a clear, beautiful day. Of course, we all know clear and beautiful in the Antarctic means "Cold as Hell!" to the rest of us.
