Bad weather at Novo airfield delays the arrival of the MICROBIAN team

Yesterday night (9 January), we took the flight heading to Antarctica. The flight had already been delayed of one hour as you can see on the picture of the timetable.

After flying for more than 4 hours, we were informed that the weather conditions in Novo were not allowing the pilot to land. Therefore, the plane turned and we headed back to Cape Town. We now have to wait until Sunday/Monday - we will keep you posted, hoping to leave asap.

Cheers

the MICROBIAN field team
