Here, at the base camp, a few days the weather was bad, but today we were  lucky, all arrived at the scene. A team of Kazakh (Magjan and Ilijas)  by the same plane flew back to the Union. They're going to go to the South Pole with Ludmila Korobeshko by program Last two degrees. So we swapped.

  We arrived to the base camp and started to equip it. We have put  sleeping tents and then we put our big new tent for the kitchen. In it, we put a chic table, everything turned out fine ....

We are all well planned out, brought rugs, plywood, so we are very pleased with themselves. Then there was a very good dinner with chicken vegetables soup. And  for the second dish, there were cutlets with buckwheat.
