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.
