My colleages Antonio Serrano and María Luísa Cancillo from University of Extremadura have already arrived to Deception Island. The meteorological conditions have been quite unfavorable during The Drake passage, between Cape Horn and Antarctica. In addition, the "Gabriel de Castilla" Spanish Base has a lot of snow cover (about 2 meters). Thus, the instalation works will be very hard.
In the Base campaign dairy, there is current information about this antarctic expedition.
El Pais newspaper has published a broad information about the arrival to Antactican of this expedition.
