President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Punta Arenas (Chile):

Today the team finally gathered. We walked around the city. We visited a meeting of those leaving for Antarctica, as well as sports shops. Tomorrow is the day to check in our luggage.

And we will wait for the flight to Antarctica. Our team is called "Antarctica 7/70".

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

Physical-educational greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today our super-group had a great rest day. We walked to the calgaspores and the lake near the base camp. And we deserved a great dinner. Tomorrow the plan is to make an acclimatization rotation to Plaza de Canada (5000 m).

Hello from Antarctica! The whole team is resting in a glamping at the Union Glacier base after climbing Vinson. We immediately relaxed here from the warmth and abundance of delicious food. But we still participate in all the activities: running, skiing, lectures and film screenings. And of course, we held a small awards ceremony!

The director and guide of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko sends from Mexico:

Hola! Greetings to everyone from Mexico from the group "Feathered Serpents of Quetzalcoatl"! This morning, December 23, we woke up in tents at an altitude of 4200. And how did we end up here?

Yesterday we moved from Huamantla to the village of Zoapan (our base at the foot of the mountain). There we took technical equipment and went further - to the Base Camp (BC) of Orizaba at an altitude of 4200. Along the way we met groups descending. No one went down - they say it is very cold and windy.

At the BC we settled in large (full-length) comfortable tents. We walked up a bit, had delicious steaks for dinner and an unexpected dessert - cheesecake. And went to bed early to the howling wind.

Today is our day of walking and acclimatization. Tomorrow we will move to the upper camp and storm the summit.

Our motto is “venceremos!”

The director and a guide of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko sends from Mexico:

Hola! Greetings to everyone from Mexico from the "Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatli" group! Today we successfully climbed to the top of La Malinche (4440). This is also a volcano, like almost all the mountains in Mexico. A lot has changed here recently. So at the entrance, where the route begins, there is a queue and everyone is given a bracelet like "all inclusive". The paths have been widened and cleaned. The police are on duty everywhere. On weekends, a lot of people go to the mountain.

But all this did not stop us from enjoying the beautiful views of the pine forest and the surrounding mountains. We climbed to the summit in 5 hours, and descended in 2.5.

Tomorrow we are moving to the Orizaba Base Camp at an altitude of 4200.

Our motto is "venceremos!"

After breakfast, we decided to immediately descend to the Plaza de Mulas base camp. Tomorrow we will rest and prepare to go on the summit assault.
