Our morning began with walks to the Aguila Glacier, one of many coming off the Darwin Ice Field here in Tierra del Fuego. Yet again, we were delighted to have sun and warmth, especially after our week in the cold Antarctic weather. There were many details to admire along the way to the glacier, starting with the swirly and striated metamorphic rocks at the shoreline. This was our first landing to observe the Patagonia beech forests, providing a green contrast to the icy continent. Yet another fabulous day adventuring aboard National Geographic Explorer!
