Climbing on the Antarctic Peninsula

This past austral summer a French climbing team made a number of ascents of peaks along the Antarctic Peninsula, including a couple of mountains on Smith Island and Brabant Island that I sailed past on my trip.

Read about their expedition here: http://aaj.americanalpineclub.org/climbs-and-expeditions/antarctica/antarctic-peninsula/2009-10-antarctic-peninsula-summary-by-d-gildea/
Extensive photos from their adventures are posted at http://nomansland.project.free.fr/NomanslandProject-Portfolios.htm

And yes, I'm jealous!
