Punta Arenas, Chile (Photos)

During our visit to Bulnes... as you walked past, the forested landscape, you enter a clearing, where your exposed to a sight quite fascinating- the end of the American continents… well, that is, of course, before the Panama Canal was built. The wind and cold of this region was quite intense. And, as I made my way towards the beach, the force of the waves regularly sent splashes in my direction. I cannot remember a time or, a place, where the ocean and wind seemed as adamant to send the message that they were not to be reckoned with.

Off in the distance... The end of the Americas.



Wait a minute... Where is Arin standing??? At the middle point of Chile! And how, do you ask, is that possible. Well, Chile claims that a portion of the Antarctic belongs to them... and as such, it's an extension of their country. And, and, and therefore I was standing in the center of the country... A cool old dock.
