VP8STI SOUTH SANDWICH ISLAND DXPEDITION NEWS (Update 2200z).......
Today at 21:20 UTC, Nigel Jolly, Braveheart owner, declared an emergency
and ordered to VP8STI team to cease all operations and return to the ship.
A large ice flow that had broken away due last nights storm starts to block
the entrance to the Bay where they were camped. There was strong potential
for the ice flow to prevent Braveheart to get them.
Team is now safely aboard the Braveheart and they are moving away from
Southern Thule Is. All the equipment and personal gear is still on the
island. They hope to return to camp site during next good weather window.
Once they retrieve their equipment, they could make a determination as to
whether they can proceed to South Georgia to do VP8SGI as planned.
VP8STI QRT !

EA5RM - VP8STI/VP8SGI Chief Pilot
