Rowan hamin' it up with the Meat Man himself at the tenedor libre. One of Ushuaia's most notorious criminals, famous for his huge ears and the fact that he was prescribed plastic surgery by a doctor claiming they were the root of his evil. A look at Ushuaia. Yep, just stretchin' it out. Ahhhhh, that feels good. Peat bog in Tierra del Fuego National park. A bay off the Beagle Channel. Katie on the beach at Tierra del Fuego National Park. The ski lift at our campground. Also a trail to the local glacier. How random is this bus? Contrast: old shipwrecked boat with Ushuaia's new economic base docked in the background. The trout. Our bus on a ferry crossing the straights of Magellan. Note the metal grate over the bus windshield. Crucial for the gravel highways. Heart beet. The Perito Moreno glacier. 60 km long, 5 km wide, and 60 meters tall. Quite a powerful sight. Watching huge chunks of ice smash into the water. Our first view of the glacier at 7am with the park to ourselves. New sun glass style. The penguin vomiting wine. Katie pointing out the famous Calafate plant. Leslie and our friend Phillip overlooking the town of El Chaltan. Brendon hunkering down in strong winds. Ol' Rowan "fatpants" Steele. Clouds coming off the ice field and engulfing Cerro Torre. Cerro Torre is the highest peak here. This was the only day it was fully visible. A look at Cerro Fitzroy. Glacier and a lake. The famous Patagonian Pygmy Owl, only witnessed by the most astute travelers with an eye for spotting birds in hidden places. Actually, he's bathing in a puddle right on the trail.
