Greencaviar Travel

I 'm like a first grader when it comes to a glacier . I was so excited  to feel  and see it up close that I could not wait to go out on the bow of the ship . I also took copious notes from our onboard travel guide. So blame my note-taking for any missing information, and blame our onboard travel guide , who happened to be standing by the bar while doing the narration , for any misinformation. So do n't take  the following  information as  academic research . The Amalia Glacier is also known as Skua Glacier and is within the Bernardo O'Higgins National Park, near the Canal Sarmiento. Bernardo O'Higgins National Park is the largest protected area in Chile, covering both the regions of Aysen, Magallanes and Antarctica Chilena.

He told us about the birds (Great Dusky Swift) that fly through the mist and nest on the rocks behind the waterfalls. Iguazú Falls (Cataratas del Iguazú in Spanish, F

I guess even Santa needs to relax and gather energy before heading north (North Pole) to accomplish his task of making the rounds of delivering mega-millions Christmas presents around the world .

A perfect place to relax and scope out the view of heights Aerial view of Copacabana Beach Christ the Redeemer stands 30 meters (98 feet) at the summit of Corcovado Mountain (710 meters above sea level). The Sugar Loaf Mountain [1,299 ft (396 meters)] seems to soar to a commercial plane flying altitude
