I’ve just finished a short but action packed contract in Antarctica. Some odd moments and new experiences but a lot of success. I’m looking forward to coming back but for now I have almost two weeks exploring Patagonia to look forward to.

lauren:

We spent yesterday afternoon at the glacier above Ushuaia doing crevasse rescue training. Good fun, but let’s hope we never have to use it!

I’ve been out in the hills of Tierra del Fuego teaching crevasse rescue procedures and techniques to a team of polar professionals. As Lauren says, I hope none of us have to use what we know; our first precaution is to stay away from risky terrain altogether.
