SPECIAL CRUISE... ITS PLACES
PUERTO AGUIRRE
This remote fishermen village is in the Huichas Island, located in the Chonos
Archipelago. It’s inhabitants have every basic equipment offered in a city, but
with the tranquility that offers its surrounding.
QUITRALCO FJORD
Quitralco Fjord is an ancient sea bed surrounded by enormous snowy mountains,
with an exuberant, dense and unique forest that has a warm microclimate and
is surrounded by a calm and transparent sea. This is where Skorpios has a
paradisiacal place for its passengers, with warm and pure thermal volcanic springs
with temperatures ranging between 32º and 38º C, with indoor and outdoor
pools, and hot spring baths and steam baths. Trekking in the middle of this
southern forest is another way of enjoying the beauty of the area. Here, we will
eat a Chilean and Patagonian barbecue. Quitralco means "Fire Water" in native
language.
PUERTO EDÉN
Puerto Edén is a fishing village on Isla Wellington, the birthplace of the Kaweskar
or Alacalufe people. This tiny village has 300 inhabitants, the majority of whom
are small scale fishermen. This is the place to buy arts and crafts made by the last
descendants of the Kaweskar.
PIO XI GLACIER
As we keep on sailing north along the waters of Sound Eyre, nature offers us an
awesome sight, the absolute and incredible beauty of Pío XI Glacier. The front
wall of this gigantic ice formation is some 6 kilometres wide and 75 metres high
as an average, although some of its peaks reach elevations of some 90 metres.
This is the largest glacier in the southern hemisphere. It covers an area of 1,265
km2, which means that it could contain a city as large as Santiago, Chile. One of
its most notable features is that it is one of the few glaciers in the world that
continues to develop, in fact, it has grown by more than 10 kilometres over the
past 50 years. The sight as we sail through the ice floes that the glacier drops into
the sea is impressive and incredibly beautiful, as it brings us closer to nature and
to our inner selves.

AMALIA GLACIER
We follow Estero Peel until we come to Amalia Glacier, located in the middle of
the Southern Ice Field - the third most important fresh water reserve in the world.
Its elongated silouhette seems to fall off the mountains, and is an incredibly
beautiful sight. Its ice tower and the contrast of its coloured ice against the
mountains are awesome. Amalia Glacier has an approximate width of some 2.5
kilometres and an elevation of 70 metres. The most important part of this ice mass
is fed by the heavy snowfall that affects the region during most of the year. When
Skorpios III reaches this beautiful site, she sails to its front wall and then follows
its shores from north to south to catch as much as possible of its gorgeous azure
hues. This glacier is enormously important for science as it has a volcano that rises
from its very centre. This is Mount Reclus, which is a total mystery to volcanologists
because of its location and behaviour.
EL BRUJO GLACIER
The end of Fjord Asia has a beautiful glacier with absolutely magnificent surroundings.
This is the El Brujo Glacier. Our adventure includes lowering our boats and
approaching the glacier to reach its half formed magmatic rock, which will show
us the way in which the glacier has modelled its surroundings. We will also have
a panoramic view of this immense ice wall.
