I have friends packing for the annual Patagonian Expedition Race Feb. 14-22, 2012. You fly to Punta Arenas.
… I’m tempted to go as “media”.
Watch the 2011 race trailer on YouTube.
I’ve only hiked Patagonia once, tripping back and forth across the Chile / Argentina border.

Good luck for the race. 🙂
It will not be easy to race in that condition of weather, right?
Weather is pretty good there right now. Summer.
