Book Excerpt: Antarctica/Vinson Chapter

Vinsol Low camp (filtered sunlight view)
I soon switched to my new downsuit to keep warm.
We rested and ‘toured’ our nice camp. High Camp is THE BEST camp in Vinson.  A PERFECT view of Mt. Shin – one of the continent’s tallest mountains, a partial view of Vinson and mesmerizing view of the Ronne Ice Shelf in a far away distance!

There where good nooks and corner with visible rocks offering spectacular Antarctic views.  We took time taking videos and pictures – and simply cherished that moment.  It was a rare opportunity to see first-hand the vast landscape of the Ice!
Seeing the beauty of this world from somewhere high above was never a missed opportunity for me.  And I’ll forever climb high mountains for as long as I could and continually be awed by this lovely planet.
