Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Spend Another Day in Punta Arenas

November 27, 2013

Posted by: Dave Hahn

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Vinson Massif

Another day closer to the one we fly on... But not noticeably. The weather in Punta Arenas -which is not the problem for flying to Antarctica- was just slightly ridiculous today. Rain and snow showers alternated with sun and wind bursts, over and over again. We still got in some great walks, going south to the wreck of The Lord Lonsdale... a great hulking steel square rigger, beached and evocative of bygone eras. We sampled coffee shops and dining spots. We waited patiently. Conditions at Union Glacier are not yet good... But they will be soon enough and we will go climbing. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn
