Beagle Channel

We did a 3 hour boat trip which took us out of Ushuaia bay and in to the Beagle Channel where the Atlantic meets the Pacific and which serves as a cut through to avoid Cape Horn.

We stopped off to walk over a small island where native people used to live. Hard to credit how they survived in such exposed conditions.

After lunch Martin hiked up to a glacier in the mountains behind the city whilst I sat in the sun on the front then walked back and Martin arrived home not long after. He had a tale to tell about being harassed by two dogs on a quiet dirt road - the owner was present but did nothing to call them off.
