We woke up on 10th August to find just a sprinkle of snow around Base, but a slightly heavier dusting of white on the hills. We thought 'if there's a reasonable amount of snow down here, there must be loads up there!'. So off we went, to carry out some Tristan Albatross work at Tafelkop and Gonydale, but also to play in the snow! And we were rewarded with Gough looking its wintery best!
So no more words.....just pictures.
