A few images from out 'auhentic' Chilean Fjord experience: gloom, mist, wind, cold, rain, snow in the upper mountain ranges, glaciers hanging from mountain sides and gushing forth giant waterfalls, or calving huge chunks of ice into the milky green glacial run off.
We passed the magnificient glaciers Romanche, Alemania, Francia, Italia, and Holandia - one more imposing than the next. The cloud cover hid most of the upper icefields, but now and again a hint of forbidding icy cliff walls high above sea level emerged from the thick gloomy mist.
A plethora of wild life makes the fjords home.Seals, sea lions, elephant seals, different albatrosses, gannets, cormorants, petrels, steamer ducks, minke whales - if one can stand the bracing cold on deck, there is hardly a moment when some animal or bird is not somewhere around the ship.
