River deep mountain VERY high!
... the old ones which I couldn't find this morning.
The wind has picked up today and although the sky is still pretty clear, it is a bit chilly. Very different from yesterday and I think this wind is more typical of this area. The walk starts off up hill for an hour, which after yesterday is not easy against a headwind! It leveled out a bit for another 2 hours. Lots of plank bridges over ...
Torres del Paine and Fitzroy Massif

17-hour drive in icy Patagonia
... we leave the cabin at 6.15am. I drive with extreme caution: freezing temperatures can lead to treacherous road conditions. We are so close to the pole that the sun doesn't rise until 9.30am so we get plenty of time to enjoy it slowly.
