Twin Otter at Vinson Basecamp (Luke Reilly)
On the way to Vinson Low Camp (Emily Johnston)
IMG Senior Guide Justin Merle checked in this evening to let us know the team is doing great! They arrived to Union Glacier yesterday and stayed on the move until they got to Vinson Base Camp. This is some fantastic news because there are so many logistical details that need to be in place in order for this to happen. All is well and the team moved through Union Glacier after their flight from Punta Arenas, had a quick dinner and then jumped on the twin otter with their gear, headed to Vinson Base Camp. Last night they worked on camp and organized gear in anticipation for a carry to Camp 1 today. The carry is just what they did. According to Justin, “it was a good day to make a carry, a little foggy but nice enough to make the move.” The weather forecast is looking good for the coming days and we are looking forward to hearing more good news from the team tomorrow!
All is well on Vinson!
