Day 63, Tony and Racers

Tony’s Update:

Hello it is day 63 the 23rd of January and we have spent the day at the South Pole doing a photo shoot. The temperature is dropping at least 2 degrees a day so things are getting tougher. We are approaching the last few days of this section of our time spent in Antarctica and preparations are being made for the return trip. We have had a lot of drifting snow and Bar 100 is temporarily closed, not for long though!!

Racer’s Update:

Most teams are still moving forward at a good pace. Team EBB Paper, although no longer a competing team, are only a day away from reaching the South Pole. Teams Centrepoint and Mission Possible continue to make steady pace together, are in good spirits and are aiming to complete the race within the allocated time.

Team Mercury remain consistent as they have been throughout the whole competition and are now within 2 days of the Pole. At the current standings this would give them second place.
