Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile

Tim and I arrived in Punta Arenas, Chile and by some miracle -our duffel bags did too. These were the first big and essential steps on our path to the highest point in Antarctica. We went through a gear check and discussed plans for flying onto the Ice. But after so much travel, it was important to simply lay the groundwork today. We kept it light, strolled to the plaza and along the shore of Magellan’s Straight and then had an easy dinner in the hotel. We’ll get a bit more focused on climbing Vinson after some sleep.

Best Regards
