EveryTrail

Victor Saunders is on his way to Mt Vinson in Antarctica. Currently he is in Punta Arenas, waiting for his flight to Patriot Hills in Antarctica. Victor will be podcasting (audio blogging) by satellite phone to keep EveryTrail readers up-to-date.

We exchanged some email today. When I asked him when the plane would leave, he answered:

"We will not know when we are leaving till the plane takes off! The flights to Patriot Hill are often delayed, the last group left 6 days late. The group that took the plane out on the return leg had been delayed 12 days going in."

Smells like good adventure! I wish I could be there, too. Victor, good luck and enjoy! Looking forward to listening to your podcasts.
