Laguna San Raphael, Chile!
Today, MS Insigna anchored in the famous Laguna San Raphael, located in the Chilean Fiordes. The place is fantastic and has an outstanding glacier that drops small, medium and large icebergs around its main body. Besides that, we can see wild life all over such as whales, penguins and seals.
The last two cruises, this one included, are being particularly boring, as we did a 25 nights from Rio de Janeiro all the way to Valparaiso with a disaster stop in Malvinas (we never made it, as we lost our anchor) and 5 days cruising Antarctica and now, we are in a 14 nights cruises on the way back to Buenos Aires.
Some pictures of this beautiful place can be seen below:
Laguna San Raphael was discovered in 1675. Floating in the lagoon are dozens of icebergs, fashioned by wind and rain, into monumental sculptures, holes and all, with such a vibrant electric-blue color that they appear to be lit from within.
Sailing around these icy phantoms, we approach the giant glacier at the end of the lagoon, rearing out of the water; it really is a dizzying sight, much to the enjoyment of any photographer.
