Cape Horn Passage (2)

no longer a view through the rain - the sun is rising, and it is beautiful albeit very, very windy and a bit cool :-)) .... taken March 30, 2017

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".

    The churning water shows that it is windy and I believe that it was cold. :-)

    You probably don't see the sun there quite often.

    It looks pretty cold there, though
    Longhorns should feel comfortable.

    Here the head is photographed in a moment of good weather, a rather infrequent case.
    The caption is very interesting,
    Hugs, Emilio

    Oh, mais tu vis dangereusement! Et pourtant, la mer est toute calme, ce jour-là. Un paysage je dirais même "apaisant", loin de sa réputation infernale.
