It’s 7am and we are now stationary, as near as we can to Cape Horn, the southernmost point of South America and the World (if you don’t include Antarctica!). Another Bucket List for us both ✅
According to Milos, our Naturalist on board, this is one of the best views in his 18 years of visiting the area, we even have a bit of sunshine.
The Cape is actually a group of islands. On one of the islands is a lighthouse, which has a keeper, his wife, two children and a dog – who has sent a message across to the ship wishing us all a Happy New Year on such a wonderful day. It seems we missed the bad weather a couple of days ago. Also nearby an Albatross monument. The lighthouse is operated by Chile, to ensure they can lay claim to this land!
