Sunday 30st November
To stop and to wait

No email this morning from Antarctica. The guys are probably saving their batteries.
Argos messages said : Alain recovered 100% from his fit of faintness of saturday night. Due to very bad weather, they had to stay in the tent yesterday, and clean up the mess. They also took advantage of this non-progression situation for reparing the stove and save one all day food.
At the end of the day, the meteorological conditions seemed to get better. They could start to point out some blue sky lakes through the clouds and the strenght of the winds was reducing by and by.
So, rather pessimistic these last few days (sledges, blizzards, breaking of material - they will, for instance, also replace their mattresses asking the guys based at Blue One to bring the ones they left behind for the cameraman), they gained hope because the supply could take place monday. Blue One is ready ; everyone is waiting for the weather to improve above expedition.

Panic in Antarctic

Yesterday it was an other awfull day for the Belgians.
First of all, the storm did not stop ; on the contrary, the wind which was blowing at about 50 km/h friday started to gather strength and began to blow at 80 to 90km/h.
In spite of these bad conditions, Alain and Dixie started moving at 10am hoping that the weather could go improving.
But after two ours, having progressed of only 1,5 kilometer, they had to stop again. Too much wind, too cold (minus 17¡C plus wind chill gives, brrr... about minus 47¡C!), bad visibility and too exhausting...
Besides that, something quite serious happened in the tent last night at 7pm. They were going to take the daily soup when Alain Hubert suddenly fainted. Here is how the mail of this morning describes the situation : since a couple of days, writes Alain, we had noticed that the portable stove was out of order and probably emanating bad carbonic gas. I think it's because of these dangerous emanations I fainted last night. To put it straight, I felt very bad and I thought I was going to die... Fortunetaly, Dixie was next to me and took great care of me...
Let's give the word to Dixie now. What a shock, he wrotes on the portable, when Alain fainted. I did not know what was happening. But, after these first horrible moments of panic, I opened the tent completely to let the bad carbonic gas escaping from our little closed world. Then, I started to reanimate him, giving him a rub down, talking to him, kicking him all over the body... Finally he woke up and started to recover. The tent was naturally full of snow : but Alain was safe !
This morning, according to the mail, Alain has completely recovered. But the storm is still outside the tent with snow blowing all over and, surprinsingly, with blue sky emerging above 10 to 20 meters of heavy blizzards and storms charging at the surface of the icesheet.
Just before sending the email through satellite, they decided not to move and to take that opportunity to clean the tent up.
According to the latest news, the C130 has finally left Cape Town yesterday night at 11pm and is due to arrive sunday morning at Blue One.
Note : The headquarters in Brussels recently discovered that Internet surfers in California, Washington and Ohio still must enter a password and codeword in order to access the expedition website.
Here are the two words in question : on the line ont the top, south, and the line below, pole. We should have that problem solved at the beginning of December.

Slave labor on antarctic icesheet

Sledges of the devil... To be forced to wear ice shoes and pull like beast these horrible contraptions, even though the wind is just right for using the parafoils and eat up kilometers : it must be a farce... This is a bit of what was said on the expedition's email transmission last night, via the Compaq laptop.
Besides that, the terrain is extremely flat, and the winds (which yesterday were meteorological and are now more on the catabatic side), were blowing at about 40km/h from south/southeast : therefore ideal for using the sails for a progression out of hell !
In any case, it was absolutely necessary to pull the sledges without skis and be satisfied with only 9 km of progress for the day, even though they could have easlily made 35 or 40 km without the sledges problems.
It is also said in the mail that the men are impatient to receive their material because for the present time, they have the impression of being reduced to slave labor.
Few details are available, as usual, on the necessary efforts of Alain and Dixie to proceed. But, when one knows that they walked for more than 10 ours at an average speed of a little less than one km/our, one can realize the situation of the two Belgians on the antarctic icesheet. That said, they arrived yesterday at an altitude of 2750m and their headaches continue. Bad luck for mountaineers who frequently try to climb the highest peaks of Himalaya !
The C130 was supposed to leave Cape Town today. Weather permitting, the resupply should take place tomorrow or monday.

Note : The headquarters in Brussels recently discovered that Internet surfers in California, Washington and Ohio still must enter a password and codeword in order to access the expedition website.
Here are the two words in question : on the line ont the top, south, and the line below, pole. We should have that problem solved at the beginning of December.

Thursday 27th November
Storm, white outh and blizzards...

Bad luck again for the Belgians ; after having progressed 30 kilometers wednesday (with four ours of parafoil sailing and three ours skying), they had to stop again yesterday because of naughty winds coming from East-North/East and white out.
Actually, they could have moved forward ; after all, the meteorological conditions were not that bad. But because they thought the supply could perhaps arrive at any moment, they decided to stop for a day.
Neighter Alain neighter Dixie have mentionned how tired they were after having climed the Gunnestadbreen ; but one can presume that the pause of yesterday was probably also a matter of physical condition at which one has to add the progressive breaking apart of the sledges. You should see these sledges, noted Dixie, it's really beyond any belief, just like they have been used to cross a jungle or something. Anyway, these must weight tons to pull...
As far as the terrain is concerned, they are moving on huge flat zones of blue ice (the ideal place to look for meteorites) and have reached 2.650 m, an other world. According to Alain and Dixie, who both suffer from a little headache, the altitude sickness in Antarctica must be heavier than anywhere else.
This friday morning, at 8am, the Hercules C130 with the expedition supply is still standby in Cape Town. These last few days, the expedition could not get in touch with Blue One.

Wednesday 26th November
The long march begins...

Although they did not use the parafoils, Dixie and Alain have covered 29 kilometers yesterday. They progress in a huge zone packed with covered (closed) crevasses. Fortunetaly, it does not seem to slow down their speed.
The weather is good but the sky is clouded. Temperatures start slowly to fall : they had minus 13¡C in the tent last night and -25¡C outside.
After playing draughts (Dixie always wins), they went to "bed" at 11pm and got up at 5am. The food they prepared (pemmican) is excellent but, according to Dixie's opinion, it's quite heavy for the stomach to eat such a large quantity of fat food for breakfast ! No news, this morning, of the weather in Blue One. C130 is probably still waiting in Cape Town.

Tuesday 25th November
On the polar plateau

Hubert and Dansercoer have finally reached the top of the Gunnestadbreen yesterday, tuesday november 25th, at 3pm. Although the glacier was very steep and its crossing quite hard for the muscles, it took only three days to climb it and to reach the altitude of 2400m.
The expedition is now on the polar plateau ready to move forward, to get the parafoils into action and to eat wind in the same time as kilometers.
One problem subsist though ; the Hercules C130 that had to leave Cape Town for Blue One with the new equipment is still waiting in South Africa for the weather to improve in the Walthed mountains. Mike Sharp, the ANI operation manager of Blue One said yesterday : " As you probably know, the weather is quite bad here and is forcast not to improve tomorrow, so no Hecules yet... "
A soon as they have been informed of that delay, Hubert and Dansercoer took the decision not to wait at the top of the glacier(although the landing conditions were perfect there) but to go on with the march. They have approximately another 2000 kilometers to go to reach the south pole and 1500 more kilometers to arrive in MacMurdo.

Monday 24th November
Crevasses in sight

The team is now progressing in the Gunnestadbreen glacier. They choose thus to continue their route without waiting for the supply at the foot of the Sor Rondane. Sunday, the sky was clear ; yesterday it was covered by heavy clouds. The glacier is very steep and quite difficut to climb. Due to several zones of dangerous crevasses.
According to the argos messages which arrived int the Brussels HQ tuesday morning, they have walked 9,3 kilometers. Knowing that the width of the Gunnestadbreen is about 60 km, they should be over in about 4 or 5 days. Once they arrive at the top, they will probably wait for the Twin Otter coming from Blue One with the new sledges an other few material.
What about the sledges ? Breaking apart more and more every day...

Sunday 23nd November
Supply delayed

Due to awfull weather conditions in Dronning Maud Land, the Hercules C130 that had to leave Cape Town sunday and bring the new equipment to Blue One (before they take it to the Sor Rondane with a Twin Otter) bringtransportedid not take off and won't probably leave South Africa before tuesday.
It means that the supply of the expedition won't take place before wednesday or even later in the week. Because they had a satellite contact with Blue One on sunday morning, Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer have probably decided to go on with the climbing of the Gunnestadbreen before the Twin Otter reach the team for the supply.
In any case, according to the sunday night argos, they have moved about 12 km forward to the south.
The weather continues to be excellent and the scenery of the Sor Rondane emerging from an ocean of white and pure ice is absolutely breathtaking. Every day, we receive messages concerning Dixie's sledge which apparently breaks apart aswell.

Note : We mentionned yesterday that the Twin Otter based at Blue One had to go first rescue an lady adventurer who pressed the rescue button ; in fact the plane that is in charge of that mission is based at Patriot Hills.

Saturday 22nd November
Camping at the foot of the Sor Rondane

After almost three weeks of progression, the team has finally reached today the foot of the Sor Rondane mountains at an altitude of 1500m. They camped on a beautiful spot at the bottom of the Gunnestadbreen glacier. The weather is excellent, the wind quite gentle (5 to 10 knots) and the ice completely flat and covered by one or two inches of light snow. "Perfect for skying", said Hubert in his last message.
The place is thus an excellent spot for the supply of the expedition. But Hubert and Dansercoer will have to wait until the Twin Otter based at Blue One comes back from rescueing an american lady avdenturer who wanted to reach the South Pole and has pressed the emergency button somewhere not far from the Ellsworth mountains.
The two belgian have now to take an important decision : going for the 60 km crossing of the glacier with the risk of beeing delayed by a dangerous terrain mined with crevasses or stay where they are, take a break (reading books, listening at good music or playing cards) and wait until the Twin Otter is ready to fly to Sor Rondane.
There is a satellite communication planned between the expedition and the ANI team of Blue One Sunday morning at 9 am. They should decide by then when and where the supply will take place, remembering that the Otter has to leave the Whalted mountains for Patriot Hills by november 30st.
The argos messages the HQ received today shows that, altough they do not use much of their parafoils, they are moving at the speed of 13 to 14 kilometers a day. According to the schedule, they planned to be on the polar plateau before december 1st. If the crossing of the Gunnestadbreen goes without major difficulties, they should be up there in about four or five days. Argos tells also that Dixie has some problem with the digestion of the fat food.
Note : Due to some technical difficulties with softwares, due to the fact that the two guys have had some communication problems, due also to the fact that the webmaster leaves in San Francisco and the person in charge of the liaison is based in Brussels, this website has not been uptodated quite regularly. To all of you who are interested by this special adventure and follow the progression, sorry for all this ; but this inconvenience should come to an end today or tomorrow. Note that the page progress table will be unavailable until december 6th. Thanks for beeing so patient.

Wednesday 19th November
More on its way than completed
How do you go about actually organising a re-supply mission to the Belgian trans-Antarctic expedition?
The list of equipment was entrusted to KLM's Friday night flight from Amsterdam to Cape Town via Johannesburg. Once it arrives - provided the equipment really is aboard Friday night flight, which in air freight terms is never more than a 90% certainty - the sledges and other bits and pieces requested by the two adventurers will be taken in hand by the representative of Adventure Network International (ANI). ANI is in fact a TO which specialises in trips to Antarctica and is the same company which took the initial consignment of equipment to Blue One and then on to the former Belgian base. The equipment will then be loaded on to a C130 taking polar tourists to Blue One. The Blue One station was opened in 1996 by ANI. In actual fact, it is no more than an encampment of a few tents with a Twin Otter on standby. This year, only ten customers have opted to step through this gateway to Antarctic thrills. Having said that, we should remember that the trip is not exactly affordable to one and all: it costs approximately 25,000 US dollars for a two-week break in Antarctica! Once they have been unloaded on the blue ice of Blue One, the fresh supplies will have to wait before taking off for the Sor Rondane mountains. Wait for what? 1) for telephone contact to be made between Hubert and the management at Blue One; 2) for the location and actual site of the landing to be decided; and 3) for the weather forecast to be good enough for the Twin Otter to take off from Blue One and for conditions to be favourable for the re-supply rendez-vous.
This procedure may look simple enough at first glance. But don't forget that we are in Antarctica. And things stand a very good chance of not going to plan. The re-supply can only take place between 23rd and 30th November, which is the date scheduled by the TO for the trip with the base's only Twin Otter, which is due to take ANI's Antarctic tourists from Blue One to Patriot Hills, the first tourist base opened by ANI on the 6th continent.
So Hubert and Dansercoer will have to have succeeded in crossing the Sor Rondane range before the cut-off date of 30th November. It is impossible to know whether the plane can land on the glacier. If it can't (and if, for example, they are still struggling to cross the glacier by the 28th or 29th November), the ANI pilot and the Belgian expedition will have to make precise plans for the equipment to be dropped off, and where.
One last point of uncertainty: if the plane is unable to land close to the expedition, there is a chance that Dansercoer and Hubert will be unable to find the equipment, because with 24 hours of blizzard conditions, it could be buried under two or three metres of snow.
Now for the latest news from the Argos readings of 19th November. The position of the encampment on Wednesday evening was as follows: 71°39'32"23°38'56". Alain and Dixie do not appear to have walked very far, because one of their beacons was still transmitting at 09.53 in the morning and started signalling again at 19.07 in the evening. They must have walked for 6 or 7 hours, which for these tough nuts is a short day in which they covered about 10 km. The temperature recorded inside the tent during the night of Wednesday to Thursday was -3° at 21.00 and -6° at 01.00 in the morning. According to Hubert, to have an idea of the cold outside, you have to add (or rather, subtract) ten or so more degrees. Other news: Dixie has a headache, they are finding it difficult to take photos (no doubt caused by white-out), Dixie's sledge is also beginning to show serious signs of fatigue. They are putting in superhuman efforts to drag their sledges with no runners (something that Hubert confirmed in his telephone message on Monday evening) and the blue ice is difficult. One last message which came in the Argos of 18th November: "We are now living in a different world...".

Tuesady 18th November
On the Road again
After running through the whole gamut of possibilities regarding transport and having met for two whole days, the support team of the Belgian trans-Antarctic expedition has finally come up with the best way to re-supply Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer on the Antarctic icecap. They had in fact reached the point where it was no longer possible to continue with their damaged sledges. During the most recent contact with the expedition (Monday evening), Hubert stated that dragging his sledge in those conditions - remember that his sledge has virtually lost its runner - was like hauling three hundred kilos behind him.
So it has been decided to re-supply them. This should take place after crossing the Sor Rondane range, or in about a week or so from now. To do so, we will take advantage of a C130 flight carrying tourists to the Blue One station on 23rd November. From there, a Twin Otter will be specially chartered by the expedition to take the equipment requested by the two Belgians to the polar plateau. This equipment consists of two new sledges, three new parafoils, some packaging bags, sticky tape and string, a few additional batteries and a new video camera.
Despite the delays encountered over the past eight days by the expedition, Hubert and Dansercoer have indicated that they do not want any additional rations of food because they have made the most of being halted by the blizzard to eat less and so stock up on their reserves of food. "This inactivity has enabled us to economise on several days' food," stated Hubert. "This means that we have a schedule which goes through until 16th February. So we should have enough..."
Because the weather conditions cannot be forecast, it is impossible to state with any certainty what the date will be when they are re-supplied. But as in a week's time HQ will have its regular contact with the station at Blue One, we will have more news then, whatever happens.
Another piece of good news reached HQ on Tuesday morning in the form of the Argos reading for the day which showed that the two Belgians have finally managed to extract themselves from their infernal blizzard and are back on the "road" again. The result: despite the difficult conditions for making progress (the sledges), they have managed to complete three hours of parafoil and have covered 14 km. This brings them closer to the Sor Rondane mountains which are now only some thirty kilometres distant from their position.
The expedition's position on the evening of Monday 17th November: 71°28'25" and 23°41'32". So far, they have covered 104 km - 93.3 km in true terms towards the South Pole. They still have 2058 km to cover to the Pole and 3412 to McMurdo.

Monday 17th November
Suspense in the Antarctic!
After what is now twelve days of adventure, a serious question has to beasked: should they be re-supplied or not? During their last contact with HQ at around 9 o'clock on Saturday evening,Hubert and Dansercoer communicated their concern that the sledges may notlast the course through to the South Pole. Dixie's sledge is showing clear signs of weakness at the point where therunners join the bottom, which is the same place as where the rip appearedin Alain's sledge. For seven nights, the expedition has been confined to its tent by blizzards(and during the phone conversation, the blizzard could be heard howlingoutside the tent) and so there has been no sliding or additional progressto report, nor has there been any further damage to the sledges since lastMonday. But before stopping during Monday, ominous noises could be heardunderneath Dixie's sledge...
So they have decided to think about being re-supplied. Hubert's reasoningfor this is as follows: if they can be re-supplied and so replace thesledges from the top of the Sor Rondane mountains, and if they aresuccessful in making the crossing as far as McMurdo, their achievement willstill be a world first because the remaining trek is over a distance of3,500 km, as opposed to the 2,800 km being covered by the Norwegian, BorgeOusland. No doubt the expedition leader is asking himself what difference300 km make in the immensity of the Antarctic. The only difference residesin the concept of "crossing" and "total crossing".
So what will the possible re-supply depend on? On the possibility of takingadvantage of a C130 flight to Blue One, and making new sledges and twoparafoils in record time. It also depends on the telephone conversationsthat Hubert has to have with the designers so that the weaknesses of theinitial sledges are not repeated when building their replacements; it alsodepends on the availability of the contacts that the expedition made inCape Town. Then there's the weather, because the two Belgians could verywell get past the Sør Rondanes without a problem and wait for supplies. Butthe Twin Otter may be held up for many days at a time at the Blue Onetourist base without being able to bring equipment on to the expedition intime. So, for the time being, everyone is wondering what will happen. The answershould become clear in the next few days because if it is decided to go forre-supply, everything needed will have to be taken to Cape Town very quickly.
Apart from that, Hubert and Dansercoer do not appear to be overly affectedby what is happening to them. "Even if it is not possible to get freshsupplies," he said at the end of the conversation, "we will press onanyway..."

Friday November 14th
Heavy blizzards
Yesterday thursday nov 13th, the team Dansercoer-Hubert was still blocked by heavy winds, more than 60km/h. No progression. White out. In addition to that, Sometimes, when the sky clears off for a short period of time, the Sor Rondane and blue skies above the polar plateau come in to sight.

Thursday November 13th
Conditions : awfull like hell
Due to heavy blizzards combined with low temperatures -14 to -19°C (which gives with the wind factor a temperature of between -40 and -50°C) they seemed to have been forced to stay in the tent during all day. Playing cards and for Dixie, playing flute, or reading.
According to weather specialists of the antarctic climate, they will have to support these terrible conditions until they have reached the Sør Rondane mountains. After having climbed on the polar plateau, the weather will be much better. But the moral of the two guys is high (!) ; nevertheless, Alain and Dixe are longing for a good belgian beer. Besides that, they repair the sledges almost every day with hot water that turns into glue ice and consildates the whole body of the sledge. They have also torn apart three parafoils and are now talking about being supported at the south pole or even before.

Wednesday November 12th
The first serious problems
One week after starting the expedition and having experienced awful blizzards during the first 70 kilometers, the two Belgians ran into their first serious trouble Sunday. The most preoccupying problem is a serious tear in Alain's sledge. "The terrain we are covering is so hard it feels like we are skiing on concrete" reported the expedition leader to HQ. "It caused one of the skates to push through the hull of the sledge and tear a hole in the composite material across the full length. It's not too bad as we have spent the day making repairs to the sledge, using rope to pull the hull together, joining the two parts at the tear. Dixie had the idea to pour in hot water before putting back the skate so that when it freezes, it reinforces the whole structure. Of course we also took the opportunity to inspect Dixie's sledge and did what was necessary so it won't happen to his sledge also. When we leave tomorrow Tuesday we will load the sledges differently, putting more weight in the rear."
The other problem they have faced is that one of their parafoils has torn. Indeed since they began their adventure the Antarctic weather has proved worthy of its reputation. Not one day has passed without winds of more than 50km/h. Blizzards have of course slowed down their progress. Apparently these are normal climatic events for the season. Also it isn't easy to advance fast on the terrain between the old King Baudouin base and the Sør Rondane mountain range, which Alain and Dixie have to cross before reaching the polar plateau. This has been confirmed by the Argos messages received daily at HQ. The expedition has been slowed down by giant sastrugi fields more than 50 cm high. "We often have to take off our skis to put on crampons. That is how difficult the sastrugi fields are to handle," said Dixie. This is the main reason why the two Belgians have only progressed 77.5 kilometers and only 70 kilometers towards the pole.
Having said this, morale is high and the polar diet works wonderfully. At least they have had a chance to admire the beautiful polar landscape, the Sør Rondane mountains that they are slowly approaching and that they will start climbing in less than a week.

Friday November 7th
The first coded messages
After 48 hours of waiting, the first coded Argos messages have at last reached us from the Antarctic ice-cap. These messages tell us that the Hubert-Dansecoer duo made good progress on 4th and 5th November, i.e. since they left the site of the former King Baudouin bases. The positions relayed by the two Argos beacons showed that the total distance covered up until 6th November at 17.55, when they pitched camp for the night, was 26 km. By contrast, on the following day, Thursday 7th November, they only covered 4 km. This slow progress is probably due to the fact that Alain Hubert had been experiencing problems during 6th November with the lines from his parafoil. At the same time, they had also had problems with the hoops of their tent. They no doubt spent part of the day repairing these initial small equipment breakages. This resulted in their covering 4 km only. As far as the weather is concerned, temperatures are not yet particularly extreme: -15°C to -16°C during the day and between -19°C and -21°C at night. The wind, on the other hand, has been extremely strong, which has no doubt caused the damage to Hubert's parafoil lines. It also explains that they walked a great deal during the day of 6th November and did not ski much.
A further piece of information which can be gleaned from the coded messages is that while they have covered a total of 30 kilometres in two days, their actual progress towards the South Pole has only been 25 kilometres. Which means that no doubt they had to make a detour round an area of crevasses or some sort of other obstacle. According to former occupants of the King Baudouin base, there are indeed a number of minor obstacles in the vicinity of the Belgian station - areas of sastrugi, crevasses, etc. - which it would be preferable to go around.

Tuesday November 4th
Off towards the South
After spending a week at the Cape to complete their final preparations for the expedition, the two Belgians finally took off for Antarctica on Saturday 1st November. At 11.00 pm they climbed aboard their C130 along with a few of their Belgian "supporters", whose number included the Belgian lady Consul in Cape Town, Ida Verlinden, plus 23 South African technical staff who were taking advantage of the opportunity to board a Hercules leaving so early in the season to head for the Sanae base and complete work on the new South African station.
At 6.00 am the following morning, the C130 touched down on the ice in the Whalted Mountains, where the two men in charge of camp Blue One were waiting for them. Outside, it was -27°C, with a 15-knot wind. This combination brought the wind chill temperature down to around -40°C! The sky stretched overhead like so many Antarctic skies: grandiose and luminous, like something from another world. The view was every bit as grandiose, too, with the nunataks and mountains standing out starkly against the horizon; Alain Hubert felt relieved that after two years of work, they had finally arrived without too much difficulty to embark on their final preparations. Five hours later, after conducting a few tests with the sail for the benefit of the photographers and South African television, which had also come along, the C130 took off again from Blue One to return to South Africa.
On Tuesday afternoon, after waiting for favourable weather, a Twin Otter took the two Belgian explorers to the starting point for their trek, the site of the former Belgian King Baudouin base. At 2.17 pm exactly, the plane landed on the ice at 70°38'85" south and 24°49'97" east. And just a few minutes later, they set off towards the south, the Far South. Their great journey had begun?

Friday october 10th
Press conference in Iceland
This week end, Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer are holding a press conference for the Belgian press in Iceland. They are going to go to a splendid glacier where they all will discover the material the expedition will use during the antartic crossing : they also will spend a night there sleeping in the tent and facing cold weather. About thirty journalists have arrived already. Tonight, they will spend a lovely evening in one of the most sympathetic restaurant in town. Chating about antartic stories of course.
