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

Physical greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today our super-group "Dohodyagi" made its acclimatization ascent to a serious height - 5000 m. We climbed to the area of the old overnight stays of Plaza Canada and descended to the base camp. The weather and the condition of the group are excellent.

The first stage of the record-breaking Transglobal Car expedition across Antarctica was unusually successful. Without major delays and with a minimum of breakdowns, the team covered a distance of 1,443 km in five days. The Vostok station is located on the top of the so-called Antarctic dome at an altitude of 3,488 meters. Absolute minimum air temperatures for the earth's surface are recorded here. The expedition was not going to relax for long at the station. We had lunch in the historic canteen and hit the road. Now the team has to cover about 1,300 km to the South Pole. Difficulties began from the first kilometers. There was a section of deep snow on the way. They had to change the tactics of movement, the speed of which dropped. But so far everything is going ahead of schedule.

Hola! We went down to Mendoza, where in a warm and festive atmosphere we awarded the participants of the Los Hombres group for their successful ascent of Aconcagua. We congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! Group guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

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!
