South Pole – Day 7

The crew wasn’t able to fly to 89 degrees south today – the one engine on the twin otter aircraft that was supposed to fly them to their destination needed repair.  So they’re still at Union Glacier and hope to fly tomorrow.  They’ve just been ‘eating and eating today’ says Sean.  Sean ended the call from the satellite phone to say they’re now off on a long ski training session…
