Glaciers Galore in the Beagle Channel

Our ship cruised through the Beagle Channel which is a part of the Strait of Magellan. There were 6 major glaciers and several minor ones. The pics say more than we ever could.



A pod of Orcas also appeared. At home (and on the Alaska cruises), these creatures are considered the highlights. Around here, no so much. The locals do not like them so much because they eat the fish & the penguins. We suppose that if our Orcas ate something cute & cuddly (like kittens) they wouldn't be too loved either.
