Dispatch #1
Published at 23:47
Getting ready in Punta Arenas - Chile to fly tomorrow to the white
continent. Patagonia welcomed us with beautiful weather and amazing views
from the plane.
Storms and airport collapses in the North East of the US brought unavoidable
long delays, route changes and missing luggage, but finally almost every
body made it to Punta Arenas, so now we are only waiting for the last ones
to arrive.
Next dispatch from Antarctica!!! Hopefully.
