Accompanied by Defense Minister Maya Fernandez, Environment Minister Maisa Rojas, and senior military officials, President Boric embarked on the trip on January 2, 2025, departing from Punta Arenas in southern Chile on board a Hercules C-130 military transport plane. His first stop was Chile’s research station on Union Glacier before proceeding to the South Pole.
Later that day, the delegation visited the United States’ Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, where they spent approximately two hours meeting researchers and observing scientific projects. The presidential office described the visit as occurring “at an important moment for Chile’s scientific endeavors in the region.” RT
