Alexander Abramov fights the elements at the Sidley volcano base camp

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from the Sidley base camp:

There was terrible bad weather at the Sidley Base Camp. The wind speed reached 100 km per hour, according to the forecast, and in fact. The wind howled like an airplane turbine. I tried to watch a movie on my iPhone. I couldn't hear anything. The worst thing was that the tent would be torn. Then death.

 The tents were damaged, but they held up. Because our 20 years of experience have taught us to fight such bad weather. It happened that the tents were torn. Or the tents flew away. Now we have the best equipment suitable for Antarctica.

 There are only two of us in the camp, so if something happened, no one would help us. The nearest station is 1100 km away. Watch the video and enjoy.

 The weather in Sidley is getting better now. We are waiting for a new group.
