The happy penguins of Patagonia!
The Beagle Channel is named after Darwin’s ship, the HMS Beagle. Darwin explored and mapped the entire southern tip of Patagonia.
The Andes.
Channel view from Andes hike.
Poppies everywhere!
Parque Nacional Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia Argentina. (This means “Land of Fire” and was named by Darwin. It referred to all the fires Darwin saw from his ship that were lit by the native people to keep warm.)
Ushuaia terrain.
I would recommend adding gorgeous Patagonia to your bucket list if you like to travel.
Happy Sunday to you from The Holler!
Patagonia going on my bucket list – starting a list even if retirement from day job is still quite a few moons away – not too many though 🙂
