Good thing we had a nice rest as the captain woke us up at 6:30 am to see the glaciers as we sailed very slowly through the Beagle Channel toward Ushaia. Pictured is the Italia glacier, the largest we saw. This was a beautiful sail between high mountains with the sun rising to light the scene. We sat in the crows nest, a lounge at the bow of the ship on the highest deck. It's a wonderful feature of the Holland ships. Eventually the captain opened the bow on 4 for viewing but as it is very cold and windy there, we stayed put.
There were some whales spouting and seals cavorting in the water as we sailed. How lucky are we to be able to make these memories.
This afternoon we will take a tour from Ushaia to Tierra del Fuego and the end of the Pan-American highway. Henry, we'll think of you and your youthful adventure to this same place!!
This sounds so lovely! Especially starting the morning with seals and whales
