This berg was as big as a house! We were bobbing around in a little lifeboat so we could be close to these and get some photos. Our main ship, the Skorpios III, although happy to plough through ice flows would not venture closer than 1 kilometre to the glacier face. The glacier in the background is the Pope Pio XI, the largest glacier (I think) in South America. Southern Patagonia, Chile.

On my first visit to Chile, we were the first passengers to sail the Kaweskar Route of the southern fjords on the Skorpios III. The weather was terrible most of the time (typical Patagonia n springtime) and the day before this, visibility was nil. Imagine our surprise when this day we woke up to this serene and magical sight. I think it is the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen – photos cannot do it justice.
-
A different perspective of the Paine Massif and the famous “Los Cuernos” (Horns), as seen from the road to the Hosteria Lago Grey, where we spent an incredible few days. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.
-
Volcanoes Pomerape and Parinacota in the high Altiplano of Lauca National Park, on the Chilean/Bolivian border.

These bull seals seem to know when they’re on to a good thing. A whole heap of them were dozing on the dockside at the fishing harbour in Arica, northern Chile. They seem to spend half their time sleeping and the other half harassing the fishermen for a share of their catch! I was warned not to get too close to these guys as not only are they huge (up to 9 feet long) and heavy, but they are mighty belligerent….... ;o))) And they look so cute! Bless!!! ;o)))
-
The peaks of Los Cuernos (the Horns) and Paine Chico in the Paine Massif, with Lake Pehoe in the foreground. Yes the water IS that blue – its something to do with its purity. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.
-
The snowy peak of Quisiquisini and Lake Chungara from around 14,000 feet (4300 metres) in the Lauca National Park, northern Chile.
-
Probably one of my favourite places in the world! This is the aptly named “Valley of the Moon” (Valle de la Luna) in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. In the distance, the peak of the Volcano Licancabur seems to float above the horizon. It is just before sunset when the rocks take on a golden glow. The moment is short lived as the tropical dusk descends quickly. The white stuff is salt and the lack of humiidity makes the Valley of the Moon devoid of life. This is the most inhospitable place on the planet.

We’ve already had the Dos Amigos – and by popular request, here are the Cuatro Amigos, this time four Vicuñas in the high altitude of the Altiplano in northern Chile. I didn’t line them up like this for the shot – they obviously are natural models, and yes, the sky really was very blue! ;o)
-
The Chilean Flamingo is such a stunning creature with pristine plummage. This one was having a snooze in the winter sun.
-
Volcano Osorno, and a herd of rather lovely cattle. Lakes District, near Puerto Varas, Chile.

Brrrr.. cold icebergs drifting in the San Rafael Lagoon, after recently calving from the San Rafael Glacier in Chilean Patagonia.

Wild Vicunas graze in front of Mount Quisiquisini and Lake Chungara in the Lauca National Park, Altiplano, Chile.
-
A small herd of Vicuñas wander across the vast expanse of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
-
.... ha, try saying that over and over…. A white Llama stands guard at the entrance to the Lauca National Park, at the Altiplano end of the Lluta Valley in northern Chile. In the background is the peak of Volcano Parinacota which lies on the Chile/Bolivia border. / /
-
The wonderful scenery and wilderness that is northern Patagonia, Chile. This is shot from near Cerro Castillo, just outside the Torres del Paine National Park. You can see the Paine Massif in the distance and the truly blue Lake Sarmiento in the midground.
-
Volcano Villarrica near Pucon in the Lakes District of Chile. Villarrica is one of the most active volcanoes on the South American continent.
-
In the tradition of Aardvark, I’ve decided to give some of my critters names. Please meet Floyd, a juvenile Chilean Flamingo as far as I can tell. You’ve got to love the stripey legs!!! ;o) Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire, England. Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 70-200mm L IS f/4 Here’s Floyd harassing a Caribbean Flamingo… /

Chilean Blue Eagle also known as the Black-chested Buzzard-eagle. Bird of prey found in South America. It is the only member of the genus Geranoaetus. It belongs in the hawk and eagle family Accipitridae and is allied to the Buteo hawks. The Black-chested Buzzard-eagle is readily identified in flight by its short wedge-shaped tail scarcely protruding from its long, broad wings.It is usually possible to make out the generally white underparts with the dark chest-band and tail but you are less likely to see its grey upperparts. It is found in mountainous or hilly terrain where it spends a lot of time soaring while looking for prey. This consists of mammals such as rabbits, some birds, snakes and carrion. It nests in high trees or on rocky cliffs.

Volcanoes Licancabur and Juriques, just before sunset. Atacama Desert, Chile.

“Hey look, amigo, ees dees Gringos”........ Two guanacos look at us with curiosity in the Torres del Paine National Park in southern Chile. As we were driving ourselves round, they would quite often saunter across the road in front of us. They were absolutely everywhere we went – guanacos that is, not these specific two! ;o)

I love the plumage of this beautiful bird which is a native of Chile but is now at Dunrobin Castle, Scotland. She was sent from Chile where she was found with a badly broken wing and would have died without help. The falconer at Dunrobin, Andy Hughes, repaired the wing.
