News from Chile. Alexey Lonchinsky and Andrey Berezin departed from snowy winters in Russia for hot and sunny Chile, specifically to Ojos del Salado in the Atacama Desert. After two days of flying, we arrived at our final destination, Copiapo. We rented a pickup truck and drove to the ocean coast. We'll celebrate the New Year here. In early January, we'll be welcoming the Ojos del Salado expedition members. Guides Andrey Berezin and Alexey Lonchinsky.

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, our super group ascended to our comfortable base camp at Plaza de Mulas (4,300m). We covered our route at a good pace at 7 hours and 30 minutes, which speaks about our member's good physical fitness. Tomorrow is a rest day, after which we will begin our altitude acclimatization. Group guides are Dmitry Semenov and Georgy Bushuev.

Antarctica in touch. Today, our group departed for Union Glacier. The flight was comfortable and pleasant, and we even received food. Upon arrival, we were met by snow trucks and given a briefing on the camp and its internal rules. We then had fun as best we could, as the weather prevented us from flying straight to Vinson Base Camp. We're expecting our flight tomorrow.

Guides: Artem Rostovtsev and Alexander Dorozhukov.
