Andrey Berezin, the Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

 Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today we have a rest day before going to Nido de Condores (we will spend the night there). We spent the day usefully.  First, we took care of the equipment: we fitted the crampons to the shoes. Then we visited the gallery of the artist Miguel Dauro, looked at his work. In the evening, we passed the medical check necessary before going to altitude. We're going to spend the night at Nido de Condores tomorrow. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

Artyom Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club reports from Antarctica, from the Union Glacier base:

 Hello everyone! The weather postponed the flight by only one day. Now we are already in Antarctica, and now the Antarctic season has really begun. So far, according to the forecast, the vicinity of the pole is not very suitable for flights, we will spend at least one day on the Union Glacier. There will be something to do, we will practice with the equipment before going on the route already in the environment for which it was created. Skis, sleds, stretches, systems.

And yes, there is Wi-Fi!

 For the first time in history, an Internet connection has been established with Antarctica this year. We are waiting for new reports and operational information from Artyom!
