Alpinist in Afghanistan
From the Kabul airport I hitchhike to the American Embassy and make my way to the headquarters of the Coalition Forces command, where a sergeant places three phone calls to determine I'm on the roster with the Marines. Credentials in hand, I take a taxi to Bagram Air Force Base. A few helicopter rides later and a trip up IED ("improvised explosive device") Alley in a thunderstorm in the back of a Humvee with a flat tire, I arrive at the farthest out, most dangerous fire base in the country: Camp Blessing, in the eastern Kunar Province, in the foothills of the Hindu Kush.

Corinthian II in Antarctica
No travelers visit Antarctica during the winter when polar ice blocks ship traffic and temperatures plunge into the negative degrees, even along the relatively warmer coasts. Most vessels offer tours from November to March. November : The month of November (late Austral spring and early Austral summer) undoubtedly offers the most adventurous time to visit the Peninsula. This is the time to see Antarctica at its most undisturbed form. As the season goes on, the landing areas become impacted and muddy. Some operators tend to discourage November voyages as temperatures tend to be colder and polar ice is still breaking up so access to some areas may be limited. However, the cold temperatures also offer the most impressive icescapes, pristine snow and breathtaking scenery. Wildlife is not as plentiful as later in the season, but it is a good time to see the penguins mating. There are fascinating courtship displays in the penguin rookeries and travelers can see the penguins at work building their nests. December to Early February : December and January have the most sunlight (up to 20 hours a day), penguins begin hatching, and vessels are typically fully booked many months in advance. Wildlife, especially penguin chicks, is most plentiful during this time typically. Mid-February and March : Late summer, February and early March is the best time to spot whales, though you are taking the risk that other wildlife may already be gone out to sea. Cruises tend to be less crowded so often there is less waiting time for Zodiacs and station tours. This time of year you are also likely to have better access to areas further south as polar ice melts.

Nearby:
The Upsala Glacier is a huge mass of ice 902 square kilometers,
60kilometers length, 4 kilometers width and 60meters height above the
water level. It has two main fronts, the occidental and the oriental,
which is frankly diminishing. Part of its front is hanging in the air
not even touching the water; this provokes total or partial breaks of
its steep fronts, and large icebergs floating on the lake. One of the
best views to the oriental front is from the Cristina Watch point in
Estancia Cristina.

Helsingfors in Argentina - Ski !
Typical Day: Departure from the lodge’s pier, heading Westbound along one of Viedma Lake’s branches – which penetrates the Andes Mountains – known as Moyano Bay. During the navigation one can appreciate the Huemul, Mascarello, Moyano Hills and the majestic North Hill, while reaching the end of Moyano Bay, one comes across a valley of the river with the same name and at the end of it, descending the mountains, the Moyano Glacier, in its upper part as a hanging glacier and in its lower part as a valley glacier. After 25 minutes of navigation one arrives at the descending point, where one sets out for a 30-minute walk until one comes upon what is known as the Morro Lagoon. A mirror of crystal water is revealed with emerald green “lenga” woods that surround it. This lagoon is a quiet and peaceful paradise, ideal for trout fishing. Those more enthusiastic can continue walking for a short time and discover the two lagoons (one of them very extensive) and both are close by. Those who wish can return on the Zodiac By night - delicious game with homegrown vegetables.
