The White Lady, a 7,000 foot peak,  and the Cordillera Riesco is best known for Grupo  la Paz, a cluster of jagged rock towers.
The water is so still as we pass in the fjord.  It is a photographers dream with the reflections upon the fjord.
I cannot remember the last time I saw water so still for several hours.
