Albartoss and Rock Hoppers

Rock hoppers and albatross – we had a beautiful pm. There was a pleasant walk (about 20 min.) to cliffs overlooking the opposite shore of New Island. Our pictures don’t do justice to the heights, so here are close-ups of two birds.
BTW, we have had no adverse effects from the earthquake. But we also do not know if we can fly in or out of Santiago. Hopefully, we will hear more on that tomorrow.

Carcass Island

Can you imagine living 35 years on an island named Carcass running a sheep farm? We met the McGills (H&W) who have done just that. It was a pretty island, and hiking up the hills was peaceful and calm – but 35 years?! This pm we’ll see New Island, a home of nesting Black Browed Albatross and rock-hopper penguins.
