Landed In Antarctica!!

They have landed. The weather in Antarctica improved yesterday and the crew boarded the giant russian cargo jet and flew down to the Patriot Hills base. The plane lands on wheels on a 4 mile long blue ice runway. The crew spent the night at the relatively luxurious Patriot Hills camp, and will be flying to Vinson base camp today. The flight to Vinson base from Patriot Hills takes about an hour, and they will be flying in a 12 passenger plane on skiis. We'll keep you updated if we hear any more details.
