Patagonian channels & challenges

My home for 3 days, sailing through the Chilean fjords from Puerto Montt to Puerto Natales


Puerto Eden, tiny isolated town we visited on the way south


Ferry passengers huddling around to see the massive Pio XI glacier


Our first campsite in Torres del Paine National Park


Funky UFO-like cloud


My trekking crew (Ben from England & Victoria from Victoria!) at Los Torres, literally the jaw-dropping highlight of our trek - we didn´t realise there was going to be a lake up there so after difficult scrambling over rocks for the last hour, it was an amazing reward


On an easy part of the trail


We saw and heard an avalanche of snow on this part of the mountain - very cool


Not so cool! Had an awesome 360 degree view of the French valley, but a good-looking Indian/English man struck this pose when I took a photo of him...and somehow I managed to look ridiculous!??!


Couldn´t get enough of this beautiful lake


First view of the two parts of Glacier Grey


Glacier Grey up close


Camping next to ice chunks from Glacier Grey was fun, but suprisingly not too chilly!


Time to hang up my hiking boots I think - walked for 4 days with the sole tied up by the laces!
