Well it is my hobby and I hope that it will one day be part of my career. I'm hoping to go into creative writing when i get to college in like 2yrs. I love writing so I started out for fun and decided that it is what I want to do with my life.

Career to the max! I have absolutely no doubts about getting published.

Doesn't mean it's true in any way, shape or form, but it's a good mentality to start off with :)

Career. And if I can't make a living off it I'll find something else to do involving history and literature and write until I can support myself on it.

In the winter months, snowstorms and rainfall in the Patagonian Ice Fields can drastically affect the landscape. Worsened by heavy winds, such storms can reduce visibility and lead to glacial calving, ice collapses, and avalanches. During these conditions, travel is not advised.
