  • Patagonia Today
    AAC Publications Patagonia Today The Torre Traverse and the Wave Effect in One Day Each Torre Traverse in a Day: Alex Honnold and I had only one sure goal for the season: the Torre Traverse in less than 24 hours. We had nearly succeeded on this awesome objective the year before, retreating two pitches below the top of Cerro Torre—the final summit. With a good forecast and good conditions, we hiked into the Torre Valley on January 29. Alex likened our Torre Traverse to El Cap speed climbing. We knew exactly who would lead what, where we would simul-climb, and where we would short-fix. We knew that Alex would lower me on the first 30-meter rappel while being pulled up on counter-balance. We knew the order in which we would tag each summit. For one of the belays, on Torre Egger, I was even able to tell Alex exactly which three cams to place, in order, having soloed the route less than two weeks earlier. For all but one rappel we planned to simul-rappel. Approaching our first bivy at Niponino, we reviewed our strategy out loud. On January 30, we hiked from Niponino to a second bivy below the east pillar of Aguja Standhardt. We started the timer at 1:42 the next morning. Carrying four liters of water each, we headed up to the Standhardt Col. I started up the first pitch above the col at 3:20 a.m., and we continued simul-climbing and short-fixing up the Exocet route with only seven total ice screws.

  • Paleoambientes Y Cronología De Las Ocupaciones Cazadoras Recolectoras De Las Cuencas De Los Lagos Tar Y San Martín (Provincia De Santa Cruz)
    | 459 Paleoambientes y cronología de las ocupaciones cazadoras recolectoras de las cuencas de los lagos Tar y San Martín (provincia de Santa Cruz) Juan Bautista Belardi, Gustavo Barrientos, Florencia Bamonte, Silvana Espinosa y Rafael Goñi Recibido 3 de febrero 2012. Aceptado 12 de octubre 2012 RESUMEN El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la información paleoambiental provista por registros polínicos y de partículas de carbón sedimentario, en conjunto con la cronología establecida a partir de dataciones radiocar- bónicas calibradas (26 muestras zooarqueológicas y humanas provenientes de 12 contextos arqueológicos), con el fin de evaluar y discutir el poblamiento de las cuencas de los lagos Tar y San Martín, en Patagonia meridio- nal. El inicio de las ocupaciones se produce hacia los comienzos del Holoceno y bajo condiciones áridas, en coincidencia con lo ocurrido en otras cuencas cordilleranas de Patagonia. Las ocupaciones continúan de forma episódica hasta ca. 5500 años cal. AP, tornándose más frecuentes a partir del Holoceno tardío, en coincidencia con la estabilización de las condiciones ambientales. No obstante, en una escala suprarregional se registra, para los últimos 2000 años cal. AP, una menor intensidad de ocupación respecto de las cuencas de los lagos Cardiel y Strobel. Estas diferencias sugieren un patrón desacoplado de poblamiento a lo largo del Holoceno. Palabras clave: Lagos Tar y San Martín; Paleoambientes; Análisis polínico; Cronología; Poblamiento; Uso del espacio. ABSTRACT PALAEOENVIRONMENTS AND CHRONOLOGY OF HUNTER-GATHERER OCCUPATIONS IN THE TAR AND SAN MARTIN LAKE BASINS, PROVINCE OF SANTA CRUZ. The aim of this paper is to present paleoenvironmental data obtained from pollen and charcoal records as well as the chronological information provided by calibrated radiocarbon dates (26 samples from 12 archaeological contexts) in order to discuss the peopling of the Tar and San Martin lake basins, Southwestern Patagonia.

  • Patagonia Andina, La Inmensidad Humanizada 2007
    La Inmensidad Humanizada 2007 La aventura humana en la Patagonia se inicia hace más de diez mil años, cuando estaba cubierta de hielos, con sus bosques y llanuras pobladas por grandes herbívoros, hoy extintos y cuando la Isla de Tierra del Fuego aún no se desprendía del continente. Al finalizar la época de los glaciares, el hombre ocupa casi todos los ambientes que las especiales condiciones australes le permiten habitar: las estepas, el litoral, las islas y canales occidentales y las cuencas de sus enormes ríos y lagos. La llegada del español produce sólo un rasguño cultural, y lo mismo pasa con la República, hasta la llegada del industrialismo, cuyos avances tecnológicos permiten superar las duras condicionantes ambientales. Esto hace resaltar en gran medida la ocupación aborigen de la Patagonia que, a pesar de estos inconvenientes y de la feroz agresión del “hombre blanco”, permanece ocupando sus antiguos lares hasta el siglo pasado, cuando quedó reducida a mínimas comunidades, cuando no totalmente extinguida. La edición de este libro ha sido también una aventura de aprendizaje y sorpresas, dentro de las que destacamos el “descubrimiento” por parte de los editores de un grabado no conocido de Boat Memory, un kaweshkar llevado por la expedición de Fitz Roy a Inglaterra y que fue retratado en traje de gala en Plymouth, cuando visitó la corte inglesa. También se incluyen en el libro fotos inéditas del destacado fotógrafo Gertsmann, que fueran legadas a este Museo por Luis Peña. Quisiéramos hacer un homenaje a los hombres patagónicos en la persona de don Marcelo Sepúlveda, uno de los últimos pioneros de la zona que se fotografió para este libro (pág.
