Adventures in South America: Isla Magdalena, Chile

We had an amazing morning today on Isla Magdalena, the home of tens of thousands of Magellenic penguins!


Along with a couple of dozen other tourists, we took the catamaran on the left out to the island in the Strait of Magellan.


Shortly after leaving port, humpback whales were swimming alongside, which was pretty exciting! 

After about 90 minutes of comfortable sailing, we got close to Isla Magdalena.


The island is entirely a natural monument dedicated to the penguins (but a lot of other birds appreciate it too!).
