We arrived in Punta Arenas very late last night ....with all of our gear ! It was close- we weren't sure if Chilean border guards would let our Pemmican and dehydrated cheese through- but thankfully they did. This incredible city- the furthest south in the world- is steeped in history. The gatekeeper to the Drake Passage, in the days of travelling by sea prior to the Panama Canal- it was a main stopping point. Explorers and mountaineers from around the world meet here before launching expeditions...people like us !

"My class is a group of 20 kindergarten age children and they are fascinated by what Kevin, Ray and Richard are doing. We got alot of snow here in Ottawa today and when we went outside some of our kids got sleds and were prentending to be Ray, Kevin and Richard on their trek. It was very cute. I also have the Playmobile Artic set out (close enough to antartic scenery) and the kids are role playing the trek with the little figures. It's so excitting for us to have some modern day superhero's that the kids can look up to."
