The first "live" report from Antarctica in our history! The group of the 7 Summits Club arrived at the Union Glacier base and was waiting for departure to the beginning of the route
Artyom Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club reports from Antarctica, from the Union Glacier base:
Hello everyone! The weather postponed the flight by only one day. Now we are already in Antarctica, and now the Antarctic season has really begun. So far, according to the forecast, the vicinity of the pole is not very suitable for flights, we will spend at least one day on the Union Glacier. There will be something to do, we will practice with the equipment before going on the route already in the environment for which it was created. Skis, sleds, stretches, systems.
And yes, there is Wi-Fi!
For the first time in history, an Internet connection has been established with Antarctica this year. We are waiting for new reports and operational information from Artyom!
