"Brilliant"

Sorry for the delay posting this, these details recieved from Gerwyn on Thursday 24th:

It is absolutely freezing cold, -40, & the wind-chill is very bad. Despite this they are all well & having a "brilliant" ( this particular word featured more than once ) time. They have climbed a few more mountains & seen lots of sedimentary, volcanic & metamorphic rock. At one point they could see the seabed which had been pushed up thousands of feet, millions of years ago. They are very impressed by the sheer scale of the geography, their camp looks like a tiny dot, lost in the huge expanse.

They built an igloo ( bet that was Tim's idea ) & were having supper in it on Thurday, very warm & cosy apparantly. Plan to climb some more on Friday & move on to another camp, then keep on moving North.
