On the way back from Antarctica, we were able to make a zodiac (inflatable motor boat) landing in Cape Horn Island. At the Southern tip of South America, this island is part of Chile. Many lives have been lost crossing the treacherous waters around Cape Horn. Most of the monuments and epigraphs on the island, as well as the statue of the Albatross (a magnificent seabird), have been dedicated to these lives... the Albatross metaphorically flying their souls forever. You can click on the photos to enlarge them.
