ountaineer Tina Arapkiles warms up in a tiny metal hut called "Fuerza Aerea", located on a moraine on the edge of the Upsala Glacier. The climbers spent one night in this hut during a partial traverse of the Continental Icecap. The hut was constructed by the Argentine Air force for military training 15 years previously. It is now a welcome site for the very rare parties who attempt to cross this part of the Icecap.
