Amalia Glacier

The Southern Patagonian Ice Field covered the entirety of southern Chile just 10,000 years ago and helped form the Fjords of southern Chile's Pacific Coast.  The unspoiled scenery is filled with dramatic rock formations, snow capped mountain peaks and abundant wildlife.

After traveling through the Strait of  Magellan, we finally reached the Amalia Glacier.  We were on deck for about two hours watching the approach.  Once there, we, along with the entire ship, were on deck taking pictures.  What an awesome sight!  We didn't get as close as we have been before.  I think it was because the ship is much bigger than the other ships we were on previously.  Gary's GPS shows that we were 3/4 of a mile closer in '03.

After 1 sea day we tender in to Puerto Montt.
