While the rest of us prepare for a little time with our friends and family for the holidays, the Antarctic explorers remain focused on their respective goals. Most will celebrate Christmas in their own way, but the best present of all will be achieving the things they set out for on the frozen continent. One person who should be getting just what he wanted for Christmas is teen mountaineer Jordan Romero . Yesterday I mentioned that he had reached Low Camp on Vinson and was hoping to make his summit bid on

Just a quick update on Jordan Romero this morning, who is now in low camp on Mt. Vinson in Antarctica, where he is hoping to complete the last of his Seven Summit climbs. If successful, Jordan will become the youngest person to complete that feat at the age of 15. The current plan is for Jordan and his team, which consists of his father Paul and stepmother Karen, to move up to high camp tomorrow, where they'll rest, acclimatize, and prepare for a proposed summit bid on Christmas morning. You can follow ...

Considering the first full day of winter is tomorrow, the climbers are all in the final stages of preparation and are preparing to let the action begin. First up, the Russian K2 team took just two days to reach Skardu, arriving there on Saturday. Since then,they've been busy getting their gear prepped for the climb and packing it for transport to Base Camp. Most of

I mentioned the Mark Webber Tasmania Challenge last week when it got underway, but I completely forgot to update the final standings yesterday. The five-day event, which was a stage-based adventure race through the wilds of Tasmania, covered more than 350km (217 miles) and featured plenty of trekking, mountain biking, and paddling with some climbing, navigation, and other challenges sprinkled in for good measure. The fifth, and final stage, took place on Sunday, with the teams crossing the finish line in

Another South Pole skier had to be airlifted off the ice a few days back due to poor health. Norwegian explorer Steffen Dahl , who was attempting a speed record to the South Pole, began experiencing health issues a few days back, and as a result, he decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and thought it best to pull the plug on his expedition. Steffen first began to experience problems back on the first of December, when he took ill and was very weak. The explorer was puzzled by the problem
