In this edition, we include three stories about three generations of explorers of the Patagonian ice. Andres Pinto writes about his recent odyssey battling the unforgiving conditions of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Pablo Besser contributes an essay about his experience completing the first longitudinal crossing of the southern ice fields in 1999. And we profile Cedomir Marangunic, who explored the ice fields with the legendary British mountaineer Eric Shipton in the early 60s. Issue 16 also includes an interview with glaciologist Gino Casassa about climate change and the fast-melting glaciers of the Patagonian Ice Fields. We take a look at Bruce Chatwin and his classic book In Patagonia, on the 40th anniversary of its publication. Cristobal Perez examines whether Chile is truly prepared to protect its expanding national park system. Brazilian photographer João Paulo Barbosa contributes a photography essay featuring images from Patagonia, the Himalayas and more. Wayne Bernhardson gives tips on how to go to one of South America’s top ecotourism destinations, Peninsula Valdes. And among other stories, Jack Miller interviews Yvon Chouinard in his essay on the evolving ethics of catch and release fly fishing.
