Our Vinson team has officially returned to Union Glacier after their massive success on Antarctica’s tallest peak! The team will be resting easy at Union Glacier until the weather clears for their flight back to Punta Arenas or until they depart for their Mount Sidley expedition.

We have several climbers making the most of their acclimatization and preparations this year. Four climbers have opted into a combo climb from this team. Three climbers will head to Mount Sidley in the coming days, and one climber will join our Aconcagua team climb, meeting in Mendoza next week. We offer combo climbs for both Vinson x Mount Sidley and Vinson x Aconcagua each year.

And just in case there isn’t enough buzz around Union Glacier, our Vinson private team has landed in Punta Arenas and will rendezvous with CTSS Guide Mike Bennett at Union Glacier in the next few days.

We look forward to more success in the mountains in Antarctica and South America this season.
