We traveled the Beagle channel from Ushuaia up Glacier Alley to Agostini National Park and Glacier. The left, west side of the Beagle is green and water falls. The right, east side had the Darwin Ice cap which is now receding. Fjords: a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs, of a glaciated valley.
Holanda Glacier Yeah, blue skies!
Italia Glacier

The explorers named the glaciers after their home countries.
