Since we departed from Port Lockroy the weather changed to a
gray, rainy and misty sky, which did not change through the day. We had some early morning lectures while in
transit and we reached King George Island for the medical evacuation about mid
morning.

In the afternoon we went to shore and visited the different bases
around Maxwell bay, the Chilean base of Eduardo Frei that is close together
with Escudero from Chile and Teniente Marsh from the Chilean Airforce, that owns
and run the airfield located in King George Island. Also next door is Bellingshausen a Russian station
in the South Shetland Islands. While
waiting for the weather to clear up and to have a response as when the plane
will arrive to pick up the passenger that required a more detailed medical attention.
