Skiing with heavy sleds in 40 below zero temperatures across a two mile high glacier located over 80 degrees South of the equator. What could possibly go wrong?

Moving On Down The Road...
Very tough day. Nine marches. Made nine nautical miles towards the Pole. Now at 89 degrees 18 minutes 25 seconds. Not too much wind, but still biting. Super tired, and was the lady one into camp, again.
Did get a birthday cake. Note the craziness of candles inside a tent, forty miles from the South Pole. Also, they were self re-lighting. Susan would approve.
At our current pace, will make the pole about the 28th. Bedtime now.
We love you, guys!! Happy belated birthday, Steve! XXOOXXOOXXOOXXOO love Nan and boys from Ecuador
