We had an even more amazing time at the glacier than we expected. We ended up being called up on the radio by the rangers who live in the bay (we weren't sure if anyone was actually stationed there when we first saw the house) and were invited to have dinner with them. They made an awesome seafood soup and fresh bread and we learned a bit more about the area. It was exciting as well because during dinner, when the glacier would break off and fall into the sea, we heard huge "booms" and the earth under the house actually shook! The following day was gorgeous weather and we took a long hike up the mountain ridge to have a better view overlooking the glacier. Really unbelievable - pictures to come later. We left that afternoon for Caleta Yvonne, where we are now waiting for ideal conditions to push to the northern channels. We're hoping to get to Aysen to re-fuel, re-stock (I am so excited for fresh veg!!), check the internet, etc. in a week or so.
