MATAGRO, 04-02-2013:The departure

The C130

The departure. The campaign is almost finished. On 4th February at 7:00, we (a group of 26 researchers and technicians) start our returning trip from MZS. We went to McMurdo (1:30 hours with the twin-otter); at 10:30 we embarked on an American C130.

Christchurch airport by night

After ‘only’ 9:30 hours of fly we reached Christchurch (NZ)….and finally the first real night after 1 month.

For this year the work in Antarctica is finished…now we have to start to think to the 2013/14 expedition…maybe I’ll take part also to the next to install more devices to improve the measurements capabilities of the new instrument.
