Ferry to the end of the Earth

Punta Arenas to Peurto Williams a distance by sea of 303 nautical miles by ferry passing through island passages and on two occasions crossing openings to the Southern Ocean.

We saw loads of wildlife - dolphions and seals surfing in the ship's wake, albatrosses, skuas and penguins. Beautiful sunrise and stormy seas. We are now in Puerto Williams, the most southerly town in the world about 100km from Cape Horn. Opposite us from our hostel in Puerto Williams we have a view of the Beagle Channel and Argentina.
