Cape Horn Passage (5)

and a view south where the clouds were fascinating and ever changing with the rising sun and the strong wind ... it was cool in the wind (up to 57 miles per hour) as we "doubled the Horn" March 30 of this year...

Cape Horn is located on Isla Hornos in the Hermite Islands group, at the southern end of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. It marks the north edge of the Drake Passage, the strait between South America and Antarctica. It is located in Cabo de Hornos National Park. The cape lies within Chilean territorial waters, and the Chilean Navy maintains a station on Hoorn Island, consisting of a residence, utility building, chapel, and lighthouse. A short distance from the main station is a memorial, including a large sculpture made by Chilean sculptor José Balcells featuring the silhouette of an albatross, in remembrance of the sailors who died while attempting to "round the Horn".

    To the beauty of your photos is added the memory of young readings, novels of seafaring adventures. The Cape Horn was always described as a tremendous passage full of serious dangers.
    Hugs, Emilio
