Shackleton's Walk
Historically important walk where Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley and Thomas Crean made the frist crossing of South Georgia Island in May 1916. This after surviving one of the most incredible small jounrney in history after his crew were marooned on Elephant Island (Antarctica), after a failed attempt to enter the Weddell Sea to cross the Antarctican continent. This walk is the last section of this epic journey across South Georgia Island to the Stromness Whaling Station.

Mt Tomanivi
At 4,344ft Mt Tomanivi is Fiji's highest mountain and is located on the Central Northern part of the island between Nadi and Suva. The mountain is frequently engulfed in clouds and storms making it muddy and slippery almost year round. That being said there is a well marked track to the summit with a nice clearing at the top that offers a 360 degree view on clear days.

Castle Rock Loop
I worked for the Australian Antarctic Division in 2009/10 and undertook this walk whilst transiting through the US base, McMurdo Station, on route to Casey Station. We were not given permission to do the full loop and walked half way and returned. I just wanted to share although I know that it is not accessible to everyone.

Laguna de los Cinco Hermanos
Great walk through the forest, ending with a very steep climb up to the lake. Beautiful scenary, lots of birdlife and incredible to see both Mount Olivia & Cinco Hermanos so close. The waterfalls on the way up (Cascada Velo de la Novia Ushauia) are not to miss!
I estimate that it would take about another 2 hours return to Cerro Cloche (which is the South), and would be a very easy walk as you are already at a similar altitude.
