Today we get aup at 3am to catch a 5 hour flight to Ushuaia ... there is not a lot of news today! Otherthan for those of you who are nervous of flying should give this a miss as the landing in Ushuaia was pretty horrendus as it was very cloudy, you get the odd glimpse of snowy mountain tops in amongst the cloud and then the plane drops and bucks and then there is the sea - full of white caps! It seems to take an age to get down to ground and then suddenly it all clears and we see the sea and pray that the runway is on the coast !! We land safetly in a howling gale and its freezing - we are at the bottom of the world.

Now Antarctica is really here and the expedition starts !

We are greeted by the team from 2041 including Robert Swan himself.
