SEADAY, SAILING THROUGH GLACIER ALLEY
This morning we sailed through the Beagle channel. The scenery here was stunning. This section of waterway is refered to as Glacier Alley. Granite mountain walls rising up out of the channel with snow capped mountain tops. On both sides of the channel we seen waterfalls coming down and plunging into the water below. We passed several glaciers coming down from high up down to the water. We kept following the channel and past by the city of Ushuaia in the distance, which would be our stop for tommorow. For the rest of the day we were sailing towards Cape Horn. Towards the end of the channel I spotted a penguin colony on a small island. After a while we left the channel and turned south into the open ocean towards Cape Horn. Shortly after dinner time we spotted Cape Horn. We could see the Albatross shaped monument on the island. This monument remembers the sailers who lost their lives attempting to sail around the Cape. There is also a lighthouse and a small chapel on the island. We sailed around the Cape and took in the sunset with the Cape in the background. (spectacular). That was a lot to take in for the day. Through the night we sailed back to Ushuaia for our next stop tomorrow. (It was a perfect day today!)
