Thanks for Visiting!

We love the pictures. Thanx, Stacy and sons...

I am new to the web and have really enjoyed following your experiences in the mountains of Peru. Sometimes while drinving around for work I think about you and wonder how things are going. I found you through NPR. Thanks for keeping in touch. Bye.

I heard your NPR interview along with many others. The satellite phone caught my interest. I assume you are "via Inmarsat", a spacecraft on which I spent many hours in design and construction. As an armchair archaeologist, I was pleased to know that the work in which I am involved benefits such worthy endeavors as your own. Thanks for sharing your accomplishments with us all. Have a well-earned rest this Holiday season.

Heard about the expedition and Website on NPR. I'm disappointed that I only heard about it towards the very end. The idea of following the expedition seems to me to be the modern-day equivalent of the serial travelogues that used to appear in the newspaper. It transports us, entertains us, and educates us - so keep up the good work.

In looking at your guestbook, I was surprised that you hadn't heard from the "reincarnated Ice Princess", just kidding. I hope one day to travel to Peru to see the site for myself. Congratulations on all your past achievements and good luck on your future expeditions.

Great Web site. I heard the report on NPR. I'm of Peruvian decent and my father visited Peru recently for the first time. He had a great trip. I was curious to see what the site that Mr. reinhard described, looked like. thanks so much for this site. Will recommend to friends. Question: Are all the photos of Peru or are they of Nepal/Everest also?

Your courage and dedication to your profession are to be commended, and I wish you and your colleagues the best of luck as you discover the world's past.

I first learned about the Inca mummy by reading the Nat'l Geographic articles just after the discovery. I was intrigued by the article and passed it along to my father, who had seen something regarding the find on tv. Today while listening to NPR I heard of the current happenings and findings. I am eagerly awaiting more information. Good Luck! and Merry Christmas!

I find your work on the volcanic mount in Peru very interesting! I understand that most of the local Peruvian people are supportive of your work. I learned first hand as an Archaeology student in Tucson, Arizona back in the seventies that many of the aboriginine groups of the American southwest were very sensitive about the exhumation and study of native burials, even when they did not necessarily assume direct kinship with the deceased. Are there cultural differences that allow the local Peruvians to be more comfortable with the study of the "Ice Princess"?

Hi, I heard you on NPR this morning. I've been following the story of the Ice Maiden, so of course I was interested to hear how things were going. I was also fascinated by the technology. Are you really updating your web site from the top of Ampato? If so, that's incredible, and where on your web pages would I find the most recent information, pictures, etc? I was sorry to hear that looters had reached the site before you. Toni

Heard your interesting interview on NPR. It's exciting to learn of your discoveries and, at the same time, distressing to realize the danger from looters. I'm a bit confused on one point. One source said that the mummy you found is called Juanita and an another said it was Sarita. Was there a misprint or are there two mummies? I wish you the best of luck. Take care!

Incidentally, I tried to download your video but couldn't. The message was that there was no "Vids.Yv12" decompressor on my system. Where might I find that?

In San pedro de atacama i met Ana Maria Baron and told her about our climbing. She told us about you and showed us a book from Beorchia.In cerro chiliques i found the tambo and i am reading a lot about the subject but there is no one in chile who is realy interested so i feel alone and i would know if you could recommend me some literature.Now i am organizing an expedition to cerro el toro and cerro las palas. I would be very happy if you could write me back. I wont be reachable in december because i will be in the antartica.(sorry for my english) Thank you for your great work.
