Chilean Ascents. Juncal (20,046 feet) was ascended via the northwest glacier by the Chileans Espinoza and Vivanco in early 1961. This route had been previously ascended only by the Italians in 1934. The Chileans Tangol and Vásquez made the first ascent of the south peak of Morado (16,601 feet) by its south face.

Sad news comes from the British expeditions to Patagonia. Peter C. Henry has perished tragically in Lake Nordenskjold.
