Puerto Eden - Patagonia


, originally uploaded by m_hagen.

This is the only town we passed in 4 days where people live down here. The rest of the trip was about as wild as it gets. Rugged glaciers, huge snow covered mountains rising up out of the fiords, Volcanos and dense forest fed from the rain that is constantly delivered from the Pacific. When the sun occasionally peaks out the colors are amazing. The deep blue glaciers, dark, crystal clear waters and dark green forests contrast the snowy peaks. The ferry is the only connection the people who live in Puerto Eden have unless they own their own boat. I can´t imagine the intense feeling of isolation they must experience...
