Mare Australis

Below are some pictures from our cruise. It was the priciest part of our trip, but I think we can both say it was worth every penny.

We left Punta Arenas at 8pm on Saturday. The landscape there was flat and windy; when we woke up on Sunday morning, this was the view out of our cabin window:

The Cordillera Darwin (the end of the Andes), running east-west across Tierra del Fuego.


Sunset from the bow of the ship (about 10:30pm).


Looking south over Cape Horn. Next land: Antartica (600 km).


The Mare Australis, behind the ice fields by the Glacier Pía.
