We got up early and had breakfast at the Guest. Everything was very good.

At 9 o'clock we go to the port to take a boat and make a journey through the Beagle Channel, seeing sea lions (which smell bad), cormorants, penguins and of course the Les Éclaireurs lighthouse, known as the end of the world.

In the afternoon, we went up the hill and the Martial Glacier. We took a taxi to get to Mount Martial.

We got on the chairlift to go up. Twenty minutes later, we are under the Martial Glacier. It is summer and we can see that the glacier is in full retreat. The views of the city are spectacular.

We finish the day having dinner with Fuegian lamb (brutal) and a bottle of wine, all very tasty.
