Day 10. Light on the Horizon
Another whiteout to start the day; however, as the wind dropped, the low cloud that hung over the snow slowly dissipated around 2 pm.
For the first time in the last 10 days, I was able to ski at a "normal" pace and make regular compass sightings.
As a result, I made my best mileage of the trip 19.3 nautical miles!
Still, I am behind schedule and beginning I worry about the extent of my supplies. However, I will put that stress off in lieu of a good - but significantly abbreviated night's sleep.
Good night from Antarctica pleas sit in a chair for me!
