Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Return to Punta Arenas
Posted by: Dave Hahn
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Vinson Massif
Excellent weather at Union Glacier this morning. Our return flight to South America was never in question. We ate huge breakfasts and then went back for seconds. There was a little easy packing and a little easy waiting, sprinkled through with meetings and reunions with climbers and guides and staff from other trips in other places. The 757 landed in early afternoon with another load of Vinson hopeful climbers. We got on board shortly afterwards. There were excellent views of the Ellsworth Mountains east side, with Craddock, Vinson and Tyree standing out. Then it was seatback movies and the drink and snack carts for the four hour flight. We touched down in Punta Arenas around eight. My team was checked in to hotels and showered and ready for a celebration dinner by ten. This is the easy part.
Best Regards
