This ship never made it. It ran aground in the 80's and has been turned into a lighthouse marking a channel shallow point.
Waterfalls cascade down the channel sides every few kilometres, and some like this one were visable from the top to the bottom.
For the last 2-300kms the side of the channel changed from rock, snow and ice to trees. We even passed some beaches.
The channel varied from 60m wide up to 20 kms.
We were lucky enough to get a great couple of sunsets.

ReplyDeleteHi Ron just updating the blog as we speak. Chilean internet connection in the south has been somewhat sparse on the ground. Now in a proper hotel and logging away as fast as my fingers can type.
ReplyDeleteWe have got a couple of flight to Easter Island. So we plan to get to Santiago by tomorrow evening (just 500-600 kms away). Our flight is early on the 23rd, and back on the 26th.
