Through the lens: Sailing in Tierra del Fuego

Tierra del Fuego (Land of Fire) is the name given to the archipelago on the bottom tip of South America. It is the last piece of civilisation before you hit Antarctica. The remote landscape is home to amazing wildlife and views of the Southern Andes. These photos are from a sailing trip taken near Ushuaia.

Seal life in Tierra del Fuego.

This sailing trip leaves from Ushuaia in Argentina. It’s known world’s most Southern most city. (Chile’s Puerto Williams disputes this)

The weather is often wild in this part of the world. On this particular day I got lucky with perfect glass waters which made it a memorable experience.

Digital stuff:
GoPro Hero 4 Silver
Sony RX 100mi
