field reports: Cordillera Darwin Ski Traverse

From late October to early December, adventurers Kari Medig, Steve Ogle, and Dean Wagner attempted the first longitudinal ski traverse of the Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego at the Southern tip of South America.

The expedition was plagued by tumultuous weather. In the first 25 days, the party only saw the sun for a cumulative time of 8 hours.
