Day 74, Tony's Update

Hello

It is day 74 the 3rd of February and we are down from the highest part of the plateau. We are now putting up our last camp for the season and we have 112 km left to drive. We entered the mountain range 2 hours ago and were hit with colour, definition, contrasts and perspective on the size of Antarctica. For the first time the sun has set behind us and has given us deep colours to set our eyes on. We passed one of our 3 weather stations EWR has put out this year. Please look at our website under Foundation projects to read more at http://www.extremeworldraces.com/foundation/antarctica/

For the first time for a very long time we have driven over the blue ice of the Glacier - a good sign that we are almost back to the start. A few crevasse fields to navigate in the morning and we should be back at the coastline where we started around mid afternoon.

Tomorrow we will make history again and I am proud of my team that has made this happen, the team here in Antarctica and more importantly the team back in the UK.

Take care and inspire someone this year ....

Tony Martin
