Hello everyone! Everything is calm in Antarctica. So calm that conditions near Sidley Volcano are not expected to improve for us. The wind is blowing from the ocean, and the clouds are solid—we can't land there. So, we're having fun near Union Glacier Base Camp. We visited the Drake Icefall yesterday; the views are spectacular. We were ready to hike there for a long time, but a strong wind drove us away. We're still waiting for the weather near Sidley to improve.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Alexey Lonchinsky reports from Chile:
Good afternoon! The entire 7 Summits Club "Seven" group arrived in the Chilean town of Copiapo. We met, settled into a comfortable hotel, checked our gear, shared dinner, and discussed our upcoming plans! Today we moved to an altitude of 3,600 meters, to the Laguna Rosa campsite. We began active acclimatization. We admired the guanacas and pink flamingos... Everything is great, we're on schedule.
