Arriving at Bernal Glacier guests were greeted by the beauty of an ice-carved landscape. Spectacular in its grandeur and so wonderous to the eye, the heavily crevassed terminal face of the glacier impressed on all who viewed it the majesty of ice forms. A glacier in retreat, yet still an awesome sight despite the rapid ice loss as manifested in the surface and subglacial meltwaters.
Following our visit to the Bernal Glacier, our navigation took us to and through the Kirke Narrows, always a complex passage given its narrowness and shallowness. Captain Heidi and the bridge team masterfully took National Geographic Resolution through these waters and onwards to our next port of call, Puerto Natales.
It was another magical day in another magical place – a special day to remember in the Patagonia fiords.
