Agostini Sound - Águila Glacier in Patagonia

On the second day we traveled to the Agostini Sound and disembarked onto the Aguila Glacier.

Landing on the island shores I noticed the colonies of wild mussels and other sea creatures living on the shores.

The first view of the Aguila Glacier is breathtaking!


More crustaceans.
Sub- antartic wildflowers

Wild eatible berries



Like a living thing, the glacier advances onto the land, sweeping with it whatever lies below.

Back on board, we got ready for our well deserved dinner - first course : octopus

The Chilean wines were delicious and plentiful

Need I say more?

Enjoy!
