Vinson 2019 – Team V3 Arrives in Punta Arenas

Greetings from Punta Arenas!

The V3 Vinson Team has arrived in Punta Arenas, Chile and, after only a minor delay, all of our luggage has arrived as well. Our gear is now sorted, we’re getting to know one another and everyone is PSYCHED to get to the Ice. Tomorrow, we will have our official pre-trip briefing and will learn more about the exact timing of our flight to Antarctica. Fingers crossed for good weather. The Team, minus Lukas (who went on a sightseeing excursion today) is below.

Stay tuned!
