The Atlantic Explorer is now entering its most critical and delicate phase…

The flight has been propelled by powerful winds across the North Atlantic. At times, the balloon was traveling at more than 90 mph (145 kph), a blistering speed for a manned balloon! Over the last 24 hours, the pilots have also encountered difficult weather conditions, including heavy rain, overnight snow, and very cold temperatures at altitudes exceeding 20,000 ft (7,315 m).

The pilots, meteorologists, and Flight Control team are actively working together to find the best landing solution to bring the flight to a safe and successful end.

The adventure continues…

The Atlantic Explorer has just crossed into the Northumberland Strait between the two Canadian coastal communities of Lorneville & Amherst Shore.

Alicia reports from the basket that they are flying under clear blue skies at just over 20knts.

In the coming hours, the team will analyse and review the position/status of the balloon with the Atlantic looming large…

More soon!
