Stella Australis 7

The last full day of the trip on the boat is spent mainly at sea, with some splendid scenery.  More lectures - one on Magellan and his route through the islands here and another on Darwin - filled the morning on our way to the Aguilar Glacier.

Disembarking on the shore of a fjord, walking along its edge and then turning into a tributary valley we got or first view of the glacier, which is hanging over the pool of meltwater that it feeds.  The ice looks blue in places and the nose of the glacier is cracked.  From there we also had views of the impressive mountains above the other side of the fjord.

(Trying to be artistic...just for you Clare)

Mundane things like packing for tomorrow, when we have our last excursion and disembark.
