The rest of the team....

Hi...well, it's almost time to depart. We'll fly to Punta Arenas, Chile on Friday the 5th to prepare for the trek to the Pole. Here's the rest of the team. Josee' Auclair, standing in the back, will lead us. Josee' is French-Canadian and operates Canadian Arctic Holidays with her husband, Richard Weber. Josee' has trekked to the North Pole multiple times, but this will be her first trip to the South Pole.

The other ladies on the team hail from Great Britian. Naomi Davis is one in from the left on the front row (fur ruff with sunglasses). Jennifer Bernard is on the extreme right (with the very fetching blue hat), with Marion Lowe one in from her (an equally lovely blue hat). This picture is from their North Pole trek completed in 2004.

With me, the American, that completes our team. Josee', Marion, Jennifer, Naomi, and me (Kathy). We don't have a team name. Any suggestions?

Stay tuned for more posts. As long as our computer and satellite phone hold up to the cold temperatures, we'll try to post daily.

Take care,
Kathy
