The Travels of the Agnew Family

If you want to see glaciers you had to be up with the sun, even if you can't see it. Somehow Ed managed to drag himself out of bed at 6am and get up to the deck before the ship got to the glaciers. The ship sailed past 5 glaciers this and Ed even admitted it was worth getting up for.



Two of the glaciers.


Lots of people were up early.


Always remember to look around, you never know what's behind you.

An hour or so later we crossed into Argentina. A mapping program showed the line and an Argentinan pilot boat came along side. There was no way to tell by just looking out the window. Ushuaia is today's stop.

We booked a wildlife cruise on a catamaran and a bus tour through Tierra del Fuego National Park. When I have unlimited access to the Internet I will try to figure out what we saw.
