punta arenas

arrived at the end of the earth this morning...tendered in to the town of about 120,000. We then took a bus to the fields/patagonia to see the penquins living there until they migrate, hiked about a mile ...small guys but up close and personal...have small mounds dug in the earth some quite a ways from the beach, which they waddle up to...this is the last big city until the south pole..leaving tonight for Ushuaia, but going around the horn before we get there...cold here, wind is chilled...very stark and barren looking land...will post picts later...
