2025_26 Oosterdam, Scenic cruising to El Brujo glacier...

On our way north from Punta Arenas we sailed through the Chilean fjords and Sarmiento Channel. The fjords and channels are a vast network of glacial carved waterways in Patagonia, stretching from Chiloe Island to Cape Horn. The region is characterized by dramatic, steep-sided valleys, glaciers, a pristine wilderness and home to national parks. Around 1pm we entered the Summer Pass, a narrow shallow passage which our vessel can only pass in a very limited tidal window because it's only 8 meters deep….we made it through with a few inches to spare. Later in the evening at the end of the Asia Fjord we passed Brujo Glacier. Brujo Glacier is a dramatic, calving glacier famous for its impressive blue ice wall. That’s a wrap for our scenic cruising till our return trip to Antarctica.
