South Pole Success & Vinson Arrivals

Lots going on in the Southern Hemisphere.

We received great news from the South Pole today as our ski team officially reached 90° South (90°00′00″S), the southernmost point on the planet. A massive congratulations to:

  • Jesse W.
  • CTSS Guide Tomi C.

The team is now resting at camp and plans to fly back to Union Glacier tomorrow, just in time to meet the next inbound CTSS team.

Meanwhile, our first Vinson team is beginning to arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile, today. Over the next few days, they will complete gear checks, guide briefings, and flight orientations before heading south to Antarctica for their summit bid.

So far, conditions are lining up well down south, and we’ll continue to share updates as the season unfolds.
