The Expedition Members

The group huddle together for warmth. The temperature at 03:30 local time (19:30 UT) was 14°C below zero. The picture was taken at around five in the morning, just before we packed up and went for breakfast. Everyone was extremely cold and most equipment had stopped working - the batteries couldn't handle the low temperatures!
