DU Member Achieves Great Heights (Literally)
Garrett holding the DU flag on the summit of Antarctica!
On December 7th, 2015, Seattle Ducks Unlimited Chapter member Garrett Madison summited Mt. Vinson, the tallest mountain in Antarctica. In three weeks a team of five climbers traversed the earth’s southernmost continent, scaled polar glaciers across the Sentinel Range, and summited one of the world’s seven Summits. Garrett Madison was a part of aviation history the moment they touched down on the first Boeing 757 in Union Glacier Camp, Antarctica. In total, Garrett soared in the skies on a Boeing 757, Russian Ilyushin Il-76, DHC-6 Twin Otter, and a Douglas DC3 on this expedition. Additional digital content is available.
