Punta Arenas, Chile - This British Tea Clipper was beached by its last owner in 1899. This massive 714 tons vessel called Ambassador, shows how time passes and how harsh the weather can be in Patagonia.

Laguna Esmeralda, Ushuaia, Argentina - On my way to Laguna Esmeralda, you can see how glaciers are melting down as climate is warming up. Everything that looks like pure rock in the mountains was once a big glacier, all its left is that tiny piece of ice at the very top. The hiker is crossing what used to be a massive river coming down from the lagoon at the bottom of the glacier (Laguna Esmeralda), all its left is this spongy tundra and the little river at the left. Still shows how vast the landscape in Patagonia can be.
