Update from Dale Andersen in Cape Town: “Looks like we will leave tomorrow as scheduled assuming the weather holds – so we hope to be on the ice by 6am Thursday Novolazarevskaya time. Its about a 6 hour flight from Cape Town to the station. Three to four days later, we should be on our way to Lake Untersee if the weather is good.”
