Prospect Lednikov - description
In search of an amazing landscape and a beautiful place, tourists travel to the Fiery Land archipelago, where the Alberto Agostini National Park is located. On the island of Gordon, in the Punta Arenas area , a place has been created where the glaciers are in an unusual place for tourists. A familiar picture of the snow-capped mountain peaks is not found here, because the glaciers are located in a thick layer in the valleys. The basis of all is the mountain range of Darwin, whose slopes cut into the sea.
To contemplate the whole picture completely, as well as admire the rugged coast of the park and the stunning fjords, go on a cruise on cruise ships. This is how you can see with your own eyes several glaciers of different sizes that flow from the Darwin ridge in the north.
The most interesting are those that are in the Beagle Channel. They are even given names in honor of the states that took part in the study program. In total there are six glaciers: France, Spain, Holland and Portugal, Germany and Italy.
What is interesting about the place?
To decide to visit not the warmest part of Chile should be good reasons. Such is the fact that tourists observe an incredible picture when a melted glacier breaks into the depths of the sea. What many have seen on TV in wildlife programs can be seen in real life.
All this happens in the environment of wild marine fauna, which is represented by sea foxes, albatrosses and penguins. To observe animals in their natural environment is a unique opportunity. The national park is proud of a large number of marine species of animals, among them there is a sea otter, a southern elephant and American sea lions.
