South Pole, all programs »
The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica:
Hello, Seven Summits! Everything is calm in Antarctica, no fuss. The weather near Sidley Volcano is still consistently bad for flying; the humid ocean air is bringing thick clouds. Yesterday, most of the group flew to the South Pole, where they ran around the Earth's axis several times — an experience of a lifetime. The rest watched the arrival of a Russian IL-76 (Ilyushin) cargo plane. Now everyone is back at base, waiting for the weather to improve. We have faith, we're holding on, and we're not relaxing. There are still some areas we haven't visited yet. We don't plan on getting bored until our flight to Sidley.
