On the ICE!

Hi folks, this is Lisa Rutledge, Todd's wife writing this because Todd has no access to email while he's on the ice. I spoke with Todd last night via the sattelite phone. They had landed safely after a 4 hour and 45 minute flight from Punta Arenas on the ice runway at Patriot Hills. Todd's words were, "The pilot greased the landing... this place is amazing... clear, beautiful weather...everyone is psyched!" They were planning to walk about a kilometer to Patriot Hills, then set up tents and sleep. The flight to base camp of Vinson should happen today.
