Overview
- Daniel Bertagno and Ricardo Rivas traveled to Marambio on November 15 for a 36-hour academic visit to present a book, close the academic year and teach a live class.
- The Hercules C-130 assigned to bring them back experienced a mechanical fault and has since been repaired, yet current weather prevents safe landings.
- As of December 1, they have been at the base for nearly 20 days without a confirmed flight back to Buenos Aires.
- About 70 people are currently at Marambio, where Starlink service and a 4G antenna provide reliable connectivity, the teachers said.
- People at the base floated December 8 as a possible flight date, which remains an unconfirmed and weather-dependent estimate.
