Freya Hoffmeister, a German ocean kayaker who made headlines when she kayaked solo around New Zealand’s South Island in 2007 and then around the continent of Australia in 2009, is back in the water again—this time attempting to circumnavigate South America. Hoffmeister set out from Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 1. She is planning to kayak clockwise around the continent, taking 24 months to paddle 24,000 km. Along the way she’ll pitch her tent in beaches and on fields, with the occasional stay in local homes. Click
