Photos shot by Alberto Mantilla on 01/August/2015
Passing bound to Cape Horn. On port side is Isla de los Estados and on starboard Tierra del Fuego
08:02 - Yet one hour and twenty minutes before sunrise but the horizon was already brightening
08:04 - The night was very clear with an impressive Moon
08:49 - We got inside fog but suddenly it was behind us, like a wall
08:51 - Leaving a stunning look towards Tierra del Fuego
08:58 - The Moon was yet very bright and was not possible to observe its details
09:06 - When it was lowering they were easily seen
09:07 - Each time better
09:07 - Sliding over the snow-covered mountains
09:08 - Playing with the peaks
09:10 - Linking to them
09:12 - Taking advantage of the openings
09:12 - To show all its splendor
09:12 - Getting close to the next peak
09:12 - Scratching it
09:12 - Resting on it
09:13 - Playing with the summits
09:13 - Sliding on them
09:13 - Showing between two
09:14 - And hiding behind
09:14 - Forming a diadem
09:14 - Showing again between two
09:15 - To hide behind the next
09:16 - And making its last shy apparition
09:16 - To vanish definitively
09:24 - Yet several minutes later was the sunrise
09:32 - Although taking time before the Sun started rising over the horizon
13:48 - Later all day steaming in a nice day, with very good visibility
13:49 - Seeing, among other, the Picton, Nueva and Lennox islands
18:06 - Until already at nightfall pass Cape Horn
