Igloos, sledding and dancing...

Today, with overcast weather preventing a flight to the Pole, the team explored the area around Union Glacier. They climbed up a nearby mountain named ".942" with an elevation of 900m. From close to the top they slid down making a quick and joyful descent. They also created an igloo large enough to hold ten people. In the evening the basecamp hosted the 2012 International Dance Party (and you thought they were "roughing it"). The dance party featured favorite dance music, lights and participants from around the world showing off their best moves. They hope to fly to the Pole either tomorrow or early on the 16th. In the meantime they are enjoying great food and comfortable accommodations at the Union Glacier Basecamp.

Make sure to listen to Melissa's audio update and check back again tomorrow for another update from the team!
