Pétur

For those of you who went to high school with me, I could skip a lot of description by simply saying that Pétur is the Icelandic version of Conor Bracken. They look the same, have they same goofy sense of humor, and are both just as reckless as the other.

We talked to Pétur online right before leaving Rio Grande. After spending two days in Argentina, a strong Patagonian wind had blown away his cash and his debit card, leaving him just enough to get to Punta Arenas and wait for us to arrive. He was sleeping outside in the park in his sleeping bag. He didn´t think it was that bad. It was a mission.

¨What are you doing about food?¨
¨I bought a bag of nuts yesterday.¨

We found him as we walked into the center of Punta Arenas, dirty and in sandals. In fact, Pétur doesn´t have shoes. He came prepared for some backcountry trekking in Patagonia with nothing but two pairs of sandals.

This dirty male model is a semi-professional snowboarder, and defines the snowboarding type. He wears tank tops, loves to high five, and acts before he thinks.

Our team had become complete.
