A Trip Through the Chilean Fjords to San Rafael Lake and Glacier

From Bonnie Hamre, About.com

Follow guest author Clarence Fisk's journey aboard the Skorpios III through the fjords of southern Chile to Lake and Glacier San Rafael. The tour begins and ends in Puerto Montt, and passes through a region formed from ice, water, wind and earthquakes. It is a wild and beautiful area and visitors thrill to the opportunity to see and be a part of it, if only for a short time.

Clarence Fisk's article, Viaje Por Los Canales y Fiordos Del Sur De Chile, in Spanish, provides the details.
