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.

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
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.

Kaiken in Argentina
Warm comfortable lodge along prisitine Lago Fagnano in Tierra del Fuego. Hostería Kaikén is in the state of Tierra del Fuego, on the shores of Fagnano lake, in the midst of beautiful ¨ñires¨ forests and surrounded by the Andes mountains. It was built in the sixties, as a point of refuge and refueling half way between Río Grande and Ushuaia, on National Route N° 3, and is very attractive for tourists due to its wonderful sights, trekking trails and salmon fishing. Closed for several years, Kaikén was totally renewed and now offers its comfortable and updated services, while it maintains its character of being the most beautiful and traditional place in the heart of Tierra del Fuego. This ¨heart of the island¨ was where the Shelk’nam natives found refuge during the winter, living in the forests and seeking food and clothing from herds of ¨guanacos¨ which still today inhabit in the area.

Isla La Victoria in Argentina
On a large island in Lago Nahuel Huapi - accessible only by boat. Serene ,pure and natural. Condé Nast Johansens Award Winner 2007 Most Excellent Lodge - SOUTH AMERICA Nahuel Huapi National Park is the oldest and most important national park in Argentina. Nahuel Huapi Lake, covering 557 square kilometers (215 sq. miles) , is the most outstanding feature of the park. In the Mapuche or Araucano language, Nahuel means tiger, and Huapi means island. This was the aboriginal name for Victoria Island, which was later applied to the whole lake. Victoria Island is a peak covered by woods, some 20 kilometers in length, in the middle of the lake. It has been part of the national park since 1935. It is a region of many variations in landscape and climate. Only 50 kilometers or 31 miles separate Puerto Blest at the foot of the Andes from the source of Limay river, but annual rainfall diminishes from over three meters or almost 10 feet in the first region to just 50 centimeters or 1,6 ft in the second. Vegetation shows a similar variation from the Valdivian rainforest to the Patagonian steppe. Mount Tronador, the colossus of the region at a height of 3,478 meters (11.411 ft) , is visible from the lodge's terrace. Mount Tronador holds the northernmost glaciers of the southern hemisphere. Mountain chains with peaks over 1,000 meters or 3,000 ft higher than the lake (which is approximately 772 meters, 2,532 ft above sea level) are located to the east and west of Victoria Island.
