SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA: Finally, we arrive at the pit where the hole down to the buried aircraft has been started. Chris looks down to investigate while Kari and Mike get their skis off.
SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA: Chris is the first down into the hole and removes a second cover. We have to keep digging to uncover yet a third hatch. Unfortunately, after this photo, my camera froze. Not to worry, we weren't able to dig past the third hatch, so that leaves some digging the next time we make it out here. Stay tuned!
SOUTH POLE STATION, ANTARCTICA: Our first tourists. They come by Twin Otter. This group was Norwegian. They first landed at 88 degrees south to drop off some folks who will ski the last two degrees to the pole. Then a few folks flew on to come visit the pole the "easy" way. This visit may have cost them as much as $33,000!
