Looking Back: Chilean Glacier Fields

Another travel adventure from my time on the ship.

1/24 - Yesterday we had a change of course and instead of merely stopping at Cape Horn and then continuing around the outside of the southern tip of South America, we turned and headed into the Beagle Channel to view the Chilean glacier fields.  We traveled through what felt like a river with tall mountains on each side, and then we came upon the glaciers - how amazing, how beautiful!  I'd never seen a glacier before.  I think everyone was grateful for this change in the planned route.  The best thing was that while the day began and ended in fog and rain, the middle was clear and almost warm - perfect for being on deck and seeing the sights.
