Another beautiful day on the white continent.
It has been snowing quite consistently here over the last week. Everything has the beautiful shade of white. Today it's time to make the most out of this recent, but uncommon snow fall.
Heath, my lieutenant Eddie and I, donned cross-country skis and hit the castle rock circuit. This is a 17km loop track, passing some stunning scenery.
It was fantastic to be back on skis. Whilst trudging along the mind slips into thoughts of past explorers, slogging it out on unfamiliar terrain.
Along the route there are a couple of rather steep down hills. Maybe the equivalent gradient of a blue run at a ski resort, but being on cross-country skis instead of downhill skis - now that's a whole different story! Needless to say; we fell, we laughed and we fell again.
With tired legs, but smiles on our faces, we rolled into Mcmurdo in time for dinner.
