‘Glacier Alley’ is the nick name for an area of the Cockburn and Beagle Channels which run the Chilean Fjords towards Ushuaia, where we docked for the afternoon. But in the morning of Doug’s 65th birthday, we cruised through this. The reason for the nickname is pretty obvious. It was overcast, which in some ways was the perfect light for this kind of thing. Some of the glaciers have names. Who cares 🙂 Ice, rock, ocean, it’s all good. (But if you want a slightly more detailed travelogue, this post offers more.)
Inside the boat, the concierges did their best to acknowledge Doug’s birthday:
But what did Doug think was the best thing about the whole day (apart from the beer in Ushuaia?) This – seeing a condor over an icefield, and then over the boat:
Cool way to spend your birthday. Happy belated birthday to Doug!
I didn’t get him another present because I figured a $48000 cruise was more than enough 🙂
Wow. Good gift.
I thought so 🙂
