South African Base Camp

 Hi guys, this is the first chance i've had to post anything as we have been stuck at the Russian base Novo for 2 days we are now at the South African base camp Sanae, After a 4 hour flight over breathtaking Scenery, we started our Ascent onto the ice and suddenly had to abort the landing due to heavy snowfall. We circled for a while until runway could be cleared, we had a very bumpy landing and had to taxi for 20 mins racing a couple of skidoos before coming to a stop at the group waiting for us with the red smoke flares. This was because the pilot could not see the runway. It was awesome and the most amazing experience. We were then Transported to the base on the back of skidoos, where we were given a whistle stop tour of the base camp. We are still here being given some good old fashioned German hospitality, Food and drink and an internet connection ..lol.
How long we will be here depends on the weather, could be 2 hours could be overnight. We have to be ready to go at a moments notice. The next stop will be Halley a 2 hour flight away. so Until my next connection Stay cool...
