Ice Marathon: More Delays
http://markandresen.blogspot.com/2007/12/more-delays.html
Thursday, December 13, 2007. These delays are getting discouraging. I understand the reasoning with them (safety) but I think I have seen all I want to see in Punta Arenas. We are looking into possibly renting a sleeping bag and tent and go on a walkabout for a bit as it looks like they won´t get the runway cleared for several days. The storm that settled in is very unusual, as the high polar desert does not usually get much precipitation at all. Those wishing to donate can send checks or money orders to:.

Ice Marathon: Another Day
http://markandresen.blogspot.com/2007/12/another-day.html
Saturday, December 15, 2007. OK, now the bad news, it looks like it is the worst snow storm to hit Patriot Hills in a very long time and because of this storm, we will not fly out till at least Monday. We are all frustrated and tired here and the current residents are very anxious to get back (as they have been stuck there as long as we are stuck here). We had to hike quite a few miles before it would get dark to a campsite near a huge glacier (we took the last ferry and that didn't drop us off until abo...

Ice Marathon: Patagonia
http://markandresen.blogspot.com/2007/12/patagonia.html
Sunday, December 16, 2007. As promised some images of our recent outing. Anyway of all the places we ate in Chile, I liked this one best as they made a great Hot Ham, Hot Cheese on Hot toasted bread sandwich. We tried to stop there on the way home, but there was a note on the door stating they were in Punta Arena for the day. Here is a picture of the group of us (I am getting good at the self timed pictures). Here is another view of the Glacier. We got there after climbing for 2 days and shot this pi...

Ice Marathon: Time on my hands
http://markandresen.blogspot.com/2007/12/time-on-my-hands.html
Monday, December 24, 2007. Time on my hands. Posting a few images while waiting for plane. Took my camera on race, got a lot of pictures. Here is an example of the whiteout, Adriano was in front of me, he was the only thing I could see. Trail was virtually invisible. Me and Adriano (from Brazil) approaching finish line. I was pretty spent at this point. Left to right - Irish Mark, Bernando, James, Mike and me. We were up all night again supporting the 100k runners, they were in bad shape at this point.

Ice Marathon: Hopefull Speculation
http://markandresen.blogspot.com/2007/12/hopefull-speculation.html
Sunday, December 16, 2007. It is my guess that we will be finally on a flight early this week. It sounds like weather is clearing and the wind is shifting. Call me optimistic, but I have a feeling. Talked to kids today on video phone, wow, what a way to recharge the batteries. Had to make the video call from the hotel lobby, so I could not hear them too well, but was good to see them. Will update as I can on our departure date. Those wishing to donate can send checks or money orders to:. Time on my hands.
