Welcome Snowfall

At the beginning of the week we welcomed the six inches of snowfall which was desperately needed. The only down side was that the Shackleton was due in the next day for relief and all entire Wharf and ongoing cargo was covered in snow. It was really amazing to witness how fast the snow falls.
The view down the runway. You can see the Ernest Shackleton moored up against the Wharf in the distance. She departed on Thursday morning with all of the 2006 wintering team on board. Many of them will be doing some sort of traveling through South America on the way back to the UK and some will sail all the way back on either the Ernest Shackleton or the James Clarke Ross.
