Beagel Channel Navigation - Sea Lion´s Island: Es war eine schöne aber auch nicht unbedingt notwendige Navigation auf dem Beagel Kanal. Die Seelöwen und die Kanallandschaft haben den Halbtagesausflug doch zu einem Erlebnis gemacht.  Am Nachmittag haben wir unser Auto angemietet und die Vorbereitungen für die nächsten Trekking Ausflüge geplant. E...

Toughest trek yet! We just made it back late yesterday, in torrential rain, after a tough long scramble through deep bog and waterlogged forest, due to heavy rain on the last night. The last river crossing planned was far too fast-flowing, deep and therefore treacherous for us to attempt (even Andy thought it was impassable!) so we had to make a...

I was uploading these and couldn't wait to post. Maybe one day I'll edit in the explanations & stories, but suffice to say it's been a very photogenic couple of weeks. birds over Beagle Channel, Ushuaia - today the whole album (unorganized & unfinished)

11/27/05 Ushuaia, Argentina The sun yesterday in Punta Arenas makes the rain and fog doubly disappointing this morning. We are cruising through the Beagle Channel and viewing 4 glaciers. I discover that, kind of like icebergs, the so-called tidewater glaciers extend some 300 feet below sea level so are more impressive than meets the eye. I put o...
