The third island we visited had Magellan cormorants, more sea lions, and an old lighthouse. I found it interesting how the different species kept themselves separated.

We also saw a humpback whale breach several times!

The Beagle Channel cruise involved boating around a few small islands crammed with wildlife. The first island had piles of squawking imperial cormorants. The second had bellowing South American sea lions.

Yesterday there was a 7.4 mag earthquake a little south of the channel. Adriana contacted one of our guides, who said all was well. We are relieved!

Adriana, Perito, and I took our first hike up toward 2 glaciers. It had a gorgeous lookout so we could see down on Ushuaia a nd the Beagle Channel.

Having a compass app on my phone comes in handy sometimes. I checked it at sunrise and the sun appeared on my compass to be rising in the northeast. Yet I did not find it disorienting, as I expected it to be, because I was not in familiar places with familiar landmarks. But shadows did sometimes throw me off a little.

At breakfast, Adriana encouraged me to try the Argentinian biscuits. Since I generally can’t tolerate American wheat (I can eat sprouted or sourdough) or dairy (I can eat A2 only), I thought I would give them a try. Wow, they were good! I have always loved biscuits, so this was a real treat.
