We had an incredible weekend filled with milestones across two continents!

On January 16th, our private Orizaba team successfully reached the summit of Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak in Mexico and the tallest volcano in North America. The team has safely descended and is already on their way home, feeling proud and accomplished. A huge congratulations to the entire team for their hard work!

Meanwhile, in Antarctica, our Vinson teams have been demonstrating the ultimate mountaineering skill: patience. The weather finally cooperated, allowing significant progress over the weekend. Here are the updates from Union Glacier:

  • Our second Vinson team of the season returned to Punta Arenas, Chile, on Saturday after a successful expedition.
  • Our third Vinson team of the season waited over a week for conditions to clear and were finally able to fly to Vinson Base Camp. They were greeted with a stunning sunny day and wasted no time, heading straight for Camp 1.
  • Vinson Team Three is resting at Camp 1 and preparing for their summit push in the coming days. Stay tuned for updates as they aim to stand on the roof of Antarctica very soon!
