We are about to board the catamaran to cruise the channel |
Big open water, but hardly any sails, big or small |
A few die-hard waiting outside, braving the cold and the wind |
I bundle up, but the wind is still too much to bear |
Black and white ... are these the famous Magellan pengins? |
and we get closer to take a careful look and ... |
but alas, they just look like penguins ... instead they are birds |
Sea lions... |
more sunbathing sea lions |
Antarctic fur seals |
Not quite the southernmost lighthouse |
The ship that didn't follow the guidance of the lighthouse |
The southernmost settlement - Puerto Williams, Chile |
Puerto Williams of Chile at the foothill of a dramatic setting |
Island of Gable - completely carved by the strong winds |
Magellan penguin Island Martillo |
Some are shedding their coat |
Many happy campers |
Checking their own reflections |
"Take a photo of me with the penguins!" |
A soloist |
Penguins and their co-habitants |
Be on the lookout |
Let's test the cold water |
That is enough fun for the day |
Antarctica is the next destination ... in that direction |
A typical Patagonian tree |
More Patagonian trees shaped by the strong winds |
Looking like a sheep dog before the cruise is over |
