Did I not say that there are many mountains? In the lower part they are rounded by the glaciers (up to about 1,200 m), the higher peaks are steep and untouched by the glaciers.
... and one more. Just trying to give you an impression of the scenery.
The lighthouse protecting ships from hitting the small islands in the channel.
A colony of sea lions .... we got really close, only 5 m away. Thank god we were up wind. When we left we passed the colony downwind and got a good smell of the animals.
Mountain peaks and see lions an interesting combination.
The "master" of the sea lion colony. I was hoping for him to get a little more active to get a good shot, but he was simply enjoying the sun shine, not moving at all.
A big Cormoran colony we visited ..... It was an amazing sight ..... nest after nest after nest. How do the birds find their nest?
This is a very interesting plant. Unfortunately I forgot how it is called. It reminds me of a large green sponge, but much firmer. It is also the host to many other plants. It is an ancient plant that grows only one to two millimeters per year. Given that fact this plant of about 1m height by 1m diameter must be several hundred years old.
I took this photo from the island we were hiking, I promise this to be the last mountains you will see ..... at least from Ushuaia.
