A lonely sign of humanity along the Beagle Channel
A lonely sign of humanity along the Beagle Channel
The sun was kind enough to follow our ship through the channel, illuminating things just as we got to them. I took several pictures looking back, but few forward since the stuff in front is mostly hazy and dark.
Looking back at the Beagle Channel
My film is going way too fast. I should have bought twice as much Ektar. I'll have to stock up on 100 speed Kodak Gold from the ship now, to avoid the crunch when everyone else runs out.
The hills and mountains on the right of the ship have what appear to be sandy tops without much snow. They're not really as rocky as one would expect from a top that formerly held a glacier. On the left, however, they are very rocky and it is clear that glaciers have been there, carving out and grinding up the rock that forms the mountain. I suspect that the southern (right) side mountains probably have snow caps during the winter, but not enough to grind.
