Stark, spectacular southern coast of Chilean Fjords

In 1500s, explorers de Hoces and Sir Francis Drake sailed close to Cape Horn

We sailed through the Strait of Magellan, discovered by Magellan in 1520

Rounding Cape Horn was not successfully navigated until 17th Century

We passed many fishing villages rounding the Horn to the Atlantic Ocean

Major volcanic eruptions and retreating glaciers formed the fiords

Awoke at 5 am for first glimpse of glacier

What could be lovelier than a rainbow at daybreak!

The wonders of southern Patagonia were breathtaking!
