Stage 1: Christchurch, the portal to Antarctica for the New Zealanders, Americans and Italians.
Our team is reunited and we’ve picked up our Antarctica clothing! However, just as our excitement was bubbling up inside we got news that weather conditions and logistics issues were going to temporarily burst that bubble, delaying our departure by a day. So here I sit, in a hotel room waiting to catch a ride down to Antarctica. Perhaps some team bonding down the pub is necessary for tonight…
