Navigation in the Beagle channel

The main activity of the day was going out in a boat through the Beagle channel. I had a bit of a scare as the day has been very windy and my planned boat ride was cancelled. Luckily they were able to transfer me to another one...
For almost 3 hours we sailed the waters of the 14 km wide channel seeing a few islands with seals and penguin-like birds and one of the main lighthouses.
It was freezing cold (3 degrees at the airport, imagine sailing in a boat) so I must confess I stayed mostly inside the cosy interior... I would say the best part is the view of the snowed capped mountains, still pertaining the Andes which in Tierra de Fuego run from east to west, at both sides of the channel.
The rows of half snowed mountains resembled a line of iced out deserts!!
Another beautiful sight to take with me...
