Today's the day for Hannah McKeand. According to her latest dispatch she is now a mere 14.5 nautical miles from the South Pole and should make it in sometime today. While she sounds excited about reaching her goal, there is also a sense of reservation as her journey is coming to an end. I'll keep you posted on her progress.
Meanwhile, Team Polar Quest has established their Polar Camp just 50 meters from the South Pole. After spending 36 hours pushing to the pole, the team is taking a much needed rest before beginning the return voyage. The Union Jack and the flag of Robert Scott Falcon's expedition fly proudly over the team's camp. The team completed the first non-stop, unsupported South Pole expedition by a British Military Team. Well done boys. Good luck on the return trip. You're half-way home.
