Chile and Easter Island

Calving increasing in intensity

The glacier Amalia from some distance.

Now you can see the size of the calving in the distance with the small zodiacs in the foreground going back to the ship.

It does not look like a large area falling but it is massive. It can cause large waves and you do not want to be on the water in a zodiac when it comes at you.

I was one of the last to leave the land and was able to catch some great calving photos. It was worth the wait.

We are cruising on the Las Montanas Fjord, which threads between the Cordillera Sarmiento and the Cordillera Riesco mountain ranges.

Navigating the Calvo Fjord, a glacier filled alley of bobbing ice.

We boarded an icebreaker boat, the Capitan Constantino, to sail through the choppy ice and get in to the middle of this floating ice field.

We see the El Brujo (Witch) glacier.

It is a photographers delight with the sights all around.

Looking out from the bridge of the ship in the fjords.

Ice so close we could almost reach out and touch it as we passed by.

Thousands of feet high the glaciers rise from the fjord.

The ice is so think on the fjord as we motor against it you can feel the crushing of the ice under the icebreaker.

The reflections on the fjord of mother nature at her best.
