1.25 Miles to Fortuna Bay

The barometer doesn't lie. As yesterday's falling pressure foretold, the team encountered a day of whiteouts and freezing rain. No matter, if you listen to the audio update you'll notice that everyone's taking the challenging conditions in stride, even reveling in them. A toasty, dry tent and a bottle of Amarula never hurts!

As Scott spells out in the audio update, the team arrived at Breakwind Ridge, just a short 1.25 miles from Fortuna Bay, the team's rendezvous point with the Plancius. Rather than tackling the final descent of the expedition in low visibility at the end of a tiring bay, the team opted to rest up overnight before returning to sea level.

The adventure continues tomorrow. Stay tuned, and thanks again for following along!
