After criss-crossing the lake district in buses we decided to treat ourselves and flew down to southern patagonia. From Punta Arenas on the Magellen straight we went out to visit the penguin colony on Isla Magdalena. The small islnd in the middle of the straight is home to 120,000 penguins - when the boat arrived, the captain had to send somebody ashore to clear some space among the waiting penguis so that we could drop the landing deck.
