Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Spend Another Day of Waiting

December 16, 2018

Posted by: Dave Hahn

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Vinson Massif

This was a day for naps and meals and diversions. The wind was on again and off again throughout the day. The sun never did break through and snow kept falling on Union Glacier. There was never any question of airplanes coming to visit. One of the ALE snowcat drivers plowed up a fifty foot long, eight foot high snow berm as a shield around our sleeping tents, which is certainly a comfort. As usual, the staff kept serving up excellent meals (for about 130 staff and guests) and presenting great lectures to fill the time. For evening entertainment, we watched “the Perfect Storm” in the library tent. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn
