Hello from the Ross Ice Shelf. I finally got here. It took 2 planes today to manage to get me to the far side of Antarctica and the start of my expedition. A few hours ago they dropped me off on the ice-shelf after an amazing flight over the Transantarctic Mountains - and here I am. I've set up my tent, I'm alone on the Ross Ice Shelf and looking at a big white horizon on the one side towards the North - and to the South, this wall of mountain, absolutely spectacular. I couldn't ask for better weather. It's really calm, it's sunny, warm - so it's been very kind to me for my first night on the ice. I can't wait to get started in the morning - and start my journey to the South Pole and the opposite side of Antarctica. I'm currently at about 85 degrees South and tomorrow I'm going to be chipping away at that - so yeah. Here's to a good nights sleep and a good start tomorrow.
