San Rafael Glacier

We left Puerto Chacabuco at 7 am this morning as planned for a five hour catamaran sailing to the San Rafael lagoon. On arrival we went out in Zodiacs to cruise around the small icebergs and as close to the  glacier as feasible. It was a really wet day but this did not dampen the excitement and awe of seeing this wonderful glacier. 

It was fun to be amongst predominantly Chilean tourists who were in high spirits. The highlight was toasting the glacier with whisky and ice from the lagoon and singing the Chilean national anthem. We arrived back in Chacabuco just before 10pm, everyone happily tired after a couple of hours of dancing and karaoke on board.
