Eugene Buchanan waits in his kayak late last month as members of his Peruvian expedition lower a raft filled with supplies into the Colca Canyon. The water in the canyon was higher and colder than they'd expected, slowing the eight-member team and preventing them from navigating all 20 of the canyon's unexplored miles. Buchanan was the only one with a kayak, but the cold waters prevented his fellow explorers from swimming along beside him.
