Dylan Kramer

PICTURESQUE PATAGONIA The Kramer family made a stop on their way to Antarctica to check off another bucket-list experience: Torres del Paine National Park in Chile’s Patagonia. Pictured, from left, are Dylan, Jennifer, Adam, and Hayden Kramer. “Torres” means towers in Spanish, and Paine means “blue” in the native Mapuche language.

Dylan commemorates the exploration of his seventh continent.

The family gets their first glimpse of Antarctica at a broad-daylight midnight landing at the Chilean research station on King George Island.

TREASURE HUNT Hayden and Dylan Kramer (from left) raided the family coin collection to search for old coins for their Spring Break scavenger hunt. The 1,500-year-old coins earned them valuable points in the contest.
