Sailing from the southern most city in the world, Ushuaia, Argentina, we explored the fjords of Chile as far North as Talcahuano. Through the Beagle Channel and the Straits of Magellan we were challenged by glaciers, ice, rain and fog and treated to a unique beauty seen nowhere else in the world. Shortly conditions moderated to a climate and scenery like Southeastern Alaska and during the final third of our trip we were hiking in shorts and Tilley hats, carrying water bottles and seeking shade. What a country! Contrasts of nature, welcoming people, amazing native history and another once in a life time experience.
