I was so tired that being cramped with 12 others in the vehicle and the bumpy ride did not stopped me from going to sleep. Upon arrival at Willy Base, we boarded a van for another ride of about 45 min. My flight to Christchurch originally was to be Friday, Dec. 19, but that has been cancelled. I am now scheduled to leave Sat. I've learned that things can change at a moments notice here.
Weather is always a factor.
The weather along the coast of Antarctica is always unpredictable. Hopefully it will be great and I can get on to Christchurch on Sat. I plan to enjoy my stay here and learn as much as possible about the station. It is very beautifly with the mountains surrounding the area. The actual station looks like a mining town with all the dark dirt and mud around.
