8 a.m

Up since 6 waiting for word. We’re taking turns to be sure someone is always available in a room to be the messenger for the team – that’s me at the moment.

Meteorologist at Union Glacier is monitoring clouds and plans to wait another 60 minutes before making a decision. We are in limbo.

10:30 a.m.

WE GOT THE GREEN LIGHT! We will hopefully be heading to airport in 30 minutes.

If all goes well then the next blog will be from Union Glacier!
