This morning we set the alarm very early for vacation time, 6AM, to see the glaciers of the Chilean fjords and the Strait of Magellan. We cruised slowly for about 3 hours past the glaciers named for the countries of their discoverers... Espana, Alemania, Francia, Italia, y Hollanda, plus one named for their ship, which is melting into a waterfall (pictured). Incredible scenery! Yesterday in Punta Arenas we saw a replica made to scale of Magellan's ship, hardly bigger than a playground ship, and decided the explorers had to be at least 50% crazy to navigate these waters with their technologies...
