Easter Island, Chile

The mysterious moai lined up on the beach

Massive statues

Another view of the line, these were by far some of the most impressive

Looking out over the ocean

The only moai on the island with the eyes still on

A view of the beach where we tendered to.  An extremely difficult day of tendering, but we were able to make it and enjoy the remote island!

Punta Arenas, Chile

View of the city

Sheep and Llama roaming the fields

Collecting for nest

Off to sea!

Basking in the sun

Ushuaia, Argentina ("The End of the World")

Fisherwoman Amye.  The dog is real and hung out for the photo.  Notice the penguins crossing sign and the fact that DHL delivers to the end of the world... nice work!

A fun and quirky town, with this fun painting on the side of one of the buildings.

Stranded ship in the harbor.

Fun penguin wind vane

Beagle Channel, Argentina/Chile




Antarctica

Penguins jumping in the water
Floating ice bergs mark the arrival to Antarctica

Beautiful day out on deck

Perfectly still waters create some amazing reflections
