James Ogilvie- "Antarctica: Mount Vinson, the last of the 7 summits”
“As I stepped up to the top of Antarctica, the true scale, majesty and magnificence of the white continent were overwhelming. On one side the curvature of the earth could be discerned along the distant horizon. On the other side, remote peaks - most never touched by human boots - stretched out below me. I was in heaven - or at least as near to heaven on earth as I was likely to get. It was, finally, the end of an era, the end of an Antarctic Adventure and the end of my Seven Summits odyssey.”
Also join James on a guided walk around Oirebhal, Uladhal, Muladal on the 15th. Click here for more information.
