After a couple rough days and nights, we had a smooth sail up the fjord leading to the Amalia Glacier.
So pretty! We saw so many seals and seabirds along the way. As we neared the glacier, the waterLue lisää
Two to TravelWasn’t it an amazing glacier. I’ve seen a lot of rivers of ice and they continue to impress me each time I see a new one. Your weather was better than ours.

It was a day of wind and rainbows here at the end of the world!

One thing we’ve noticed about people in Argentina and Chile is that they like their meat!
See that pile of meat on the table? That’s all just for that guy. Sure hope they offer doggie bags…

Two to TravelBeautiful fall colors. We’ve never been to Ushuaia this late in the season, perhaps we’ll add a few days there when we return to Ushuaia after our next Antarctic Expedition to see these colors for ourselves.

This lighthouse in the Beagle Channel off the coast of Ushuaia is a local icon known as “the lighthouse at the end of the world.”
We were lucky to have such good lighting when we visited thereLue lisää
Two to TravelThe weather in Ushuaia turns on a dime it seems. The first time we went there was in 2006 and we had everything from sunshine to rain, sleet and snow … all within 12 hours. Love that part of the world nonetheless.
