The Beginning of Expedition Live

Using equipment from Iridium and ExplorersWeb

we are now sending dispatches from remote locations to this page.

	www.sevensummitsexpedition.com
	This publishing system is experimental so there is a chance that we will not be able to publish. If this ever happenes the www.sevensummitsexpedition.com site will still be up and running. It will always be woth checking anyway as it has a lot of information about the expedition and the team not found here.

	May 31 Iridium connection operational
	The ideal place to write dispatches, the balcony outside my office. The Iridium Satellite connection is working. We will now be able to send dispatches from anywhere in the world. Soon our dispatches will be from Russia and then the South Pacific. Photo by Dave D'Angelo

	Sunset 30 May
	Clouds at sunset looking Southeast over Boulder. Practicing reinstalling the ExplorersWeb software so we can do it in the field. The images we will usually use are actual frames, reduced in size, from our digital video camera.

	Serac Adventure Films office
	This is our office in Boulder. Our colleagues in New York sometimes wonder what it is like where we are. We tell them that it is a gray day with drizzle and the sounds of traffic. Actually it is just a demonstration as I am posting this picture to the web within 3 minutes of taking it.

	Mount Everest
	If we had this web publishing capability on May 22, 2000 we might have been able to post this image from the summit of Mount Everest. Next time...

	Remote Web Publishing
	We write our dispatches and then publish them using either an Iridium Satellite Phone, a digital cell phone or a direct internet connection. It's fun and easy.

	Keyboard Dispatch
	We now have this nifty keyboard that folds up into a tiny package. In fact I wrote this dispatch from this keyboard. A little cramped but effective.

	Telluride, CO
	Last night it snowed just a little. It is going to be a beautiful day. We are off to breakfast and then some film screenings.

	Telluride
	Steven Mace and Jeff Evans between film screenings in Telluride.

	May 26 - Telluride
	After a slideshow by Erik and the premier of Visions of Everest, the team unwinds at the local cantina.

	May 23 6:45p Glenwood Canyon
	First gas stop in Glenwood Springs after the canyon. These dispatches are being made with our cell phone while driving. (From the passenger seat!)

	May 23, Vail
	Arriving in Vail. Working on doinng these dispatches faster. Now it is taking about eight minutes from photo to web, not exactly live but we are going 65mph.

	Near Georgetown
	Now we are driving into a snowstorm. As long as we have a digital cell signal or the Iridium has a satellite we will be able to publish to this page.

	May 23 On the road
	Driving toward Telluride. As soon as Pati takes over the driving I will send a dispatch. It is bad enough to drive and talk on the phone. making dispatches would surley end in a crash.

	May 23, 2002
	ExplorersWeb/Serac Adventure Films -- Communications Package. This is the 'experimental' system we are using to make dispatches. Dave D'Angelo is holding the computer portion of the set up. Not shown is a digital camera, they come in many shapes and sizes.

	Packing the car May 23 1:30p
	Trying to get going, it will be an eight hour drive.

	Dead Dog Coulior
	Michael Brown pointing to Dead Dog Coulior on Torres Peak. Photo by Erik Weihenmayer. We climbed it on May 3rd and it was a blast. This is the first dispatch of Expedition Live.
