Week Six in Antarctica
Richard Dunwoody passing the 88th parallel
The homestretch
Week six saw Richard and Doug passing the 88th parallel...
It still remains an uphill climb, with long days of dragging sleds over sastrugi in high winds and blowing snow. The team truly is pushing the limits; and the rewards come on the occasional clear days, on this breathtaking continent, with the realization of the distances traveled and the nearness to their goal.
All things permitting, they should arrive at the Geographic South Pole about a week or so from today.
