An amazing and painful snowmobile trip out to Cape Evans, with 20-40 knot winds blowing down the slopes of Erebus turning our route into occasional near white out conditions. The temperature with wind chill was in the minus 30's F. Add to that the wind chill of driving at 40 kph. Ok. Need I say more? It was a very uncomfortable ride, but we suffered through the 1+ hr ride to Cape Evans.
