The day after our late night walk to the glacier, the members of the XXXth Polish Polar expediiton headed home to Poland. These guys had been here for a full year, through the winter when it is dark all the time. I asked our colleagues what they are most looking forward to when they get home and the answers ranged from eating ice cream, eating crepes with fresh strawberries, fishing, and vacationing with family. When asked what they were worried about, most spoke of dealing with large crowds of people, driving, remembering things like carrying keys and a wallet (these are completely unnecessary here). We wish you best of luck XXXth expedition!
The equipment and baggage of the departing group are brought the ship with these wonderful amphibious vehicles.
Here is the amphibious vehicle in the water with the supply ship that will take everyone home and well wishers saying their goodbyes.
