Another wet storm hit us overnight and persisted until 4pm. We used the time wisely, tinkering with gear, filming interviews, reading and snoozing.
At 4.15pm we skied off into a clearing horizon and the late afternoon entertained us with scenes to the west of epic cloud displays, from dark Armageddonesque fronts to rolls of silver-lined nimbus to sheer mists that enveloped all but the snow beneath us. Clouds like this are rare on the Antarctic plateau but quite common here it seems.
Tents up by 10pm with DYE II just 5km away.
Tomorrow we cross the Arctic Circle which rims the earth at approx N66.30.
