We spent the morning cruising past glaciers along the Beagle Channel – the route named for Charles Darwin’s ship. (He sailed through here in 1831-36 mapping the area.) The big glaciers all had been named for countries… we saw Spain, Holland, Italy, and France.

Not quite as spectacular as Glacier Bay, but interesting. According to the narrator, these glaciers all come off what is the third largest icefield in the world (behind Antarctica and Greenland).
