The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Chile:

Chile is in touch. Today, the participants and guides of the Soyuz group walked along the slopes of Ojos del Salado to the height of Elbrus, and even climbed a little higher. The acclimatization process is going well, everything is going according to plan. Tomorrow we will rest, go swimming. The weather is still good, everything else is also excellent.

Strong winds continue in the area of Mount Vinson. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, the 7 Summits Club team completed the acclimatization rotation program. Now the participants and guides of our group are in the Low Camp and are preparing to storm the summit. They are studying the forecasts and trying to leave at the optimal time for a successful ascent.

Alexander Dorojukov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Chile:

Chile is in touch. Greetings from the 7 Summits Club Pipi de Chat group! We waited for the weather as best we could. What didn't rain down on us in our camp, just think, it's a desert! We waited and watched, watched and waited. And today, January 17, we went to the summit! It wasn't easy, there was a lot of snow - we had to make our way everywhere. But we succeeded, but it's a pity not all the participants.

We would like to congratulate Igor Rebelsky on completing the "Seven Volcanoes" project!

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

 Greetings from sunny Argentina! On January 16, the new 7 Summits Club group arrived in Argentina and began the program of climbing Aconcagua. Today, January 17, our super-team, having taken the name "The Path of the Condor", left Mendoza for the mountains. We moved to our first camp in the Puente del Inca area, settled in a comfortable glamping.

According to Vasily Shakhnovsky from the Transglobal Car expedition, the Sidley-2 team led by Alexander Abramov successfully returned to the Union Glacier base. The most massive and record-breaking season on the highest volcano in Antarctica has ended. Congratulations and we wish you a quick flight to the mainland!

Hola! The group "Chiki and Piki" climbed to the top of Aconcagua. The weather was favorable to us. We climbed at a good pace. From the summit, we recorded a birthday greeting for Alexander Abramov. Now we are already in the base camp. Tomorrow we are descending to Mendoza. The group guides are Andrey Berezin, Viktor Volodin and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from Antarctica! Our whole team has been at the Union Glacier camp for seven days now. We have the most serious test for any mountaineer-traveler here - waiting. The weather has been better and worse during the week, but we still haven't waited for a window to fly into the Vinson base camp. In the meantime, we eat well, even too well, play board games, play sports as much as possible and have endless conversations. And one day, the whole our noisy crowd took a walk to the local beach. And we are waiting for our captain and the climbers on Sidley after their ascent. So far, there is no definite information about the flights. Guides Boris Egorov and Artem Rostovtsev.

On January 14, the 7 Summits Club team led by Alexander Abramov successfully climbed the summit of the highest volcano in Antarctica, Mount Sidley. The weather conditions were far from ideal and on the descent the group had to wait out the blizzard in the High (assault) camp. All participants and guides Alexander Abramov and Andrey Polyakov safely descended to the base camp and are waiting for the weather to improve before flying to Union Glacier and then home.
