When Ferdinand Magellan found the straights named after him, he was approaching from the Atlantic side and exited on the Pacific side. When the Vice Roy sent a expedition to find the entrance from the Pacific side, it wandered around for two months and never did find it. Tierra del Fuego is a maze of narrow fjords
where glaciers crash down to the sea
Our boat was specially designed with a shallow draft so that it could negotiate the narrow channels and head up the icy channels.
And the zodiacs were build nice and light to bounce off of the ice.
Well that’s what they told us. The narrow channels were rookeries for cormorants. They hung on the sides and looked down on us as we passed by
