Day 1 was great a chance to chill out and relax catch up on emails watch a film and generally do nothing for o http://www.travelblog.org/Antarctica/Antarctica/Halley-Station/blog-253418.html I began my last update by explaining that I had time to write it due to being stuck inside because of 30knot winds and huge snow drifts. Well a few weeks down the line and it is time for another update only today it is blowing 50 knots outside and you cant see more than 2 meters in front of you A pattern seems to be appearing and the only time you get to sit down and write is when you canrsq http://www.travelblog.org/Antarctica/Antarctica/Halley-Station/blog-247975.html We have been on base and grafting away since that big day my birthday on 20 Dec. Today is Sat and normally we would be out there in the thick of things however the elephantselements are well and truly against us and there is a 30knot constant blow outside with big drifts and about 10meter visibility.
