more NEW photos from South America

Posted on by

Happy Wednesday!

Last week’s post was entirely dedicated to photos of Iguazu Falls, but we were blessed to experience more than just the falls. Here’s a few more NEW photos from our South America trip:

Above is the Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse in the Beagle Channel near Ushuaia, Argentina. I’ll have to add it to my list of lighthouses. (Does it count if we didn’t go into the lighthouse?…or even step foot on the island? As you see, the island was pretty crowded with cormorants and sea lions! Yep, I’m totally counting it!)

The photo above is Amalia Glacier and the photos below are glaciers that I don’t know the names of. We traveled through Glacier Alley to see these.

Here is a colony of Magellanic penguins. We watched the documentary March of the Penguins the night before this excursion (even though we knew we wouldn’t be seeing Emperor penguins). We learned so much. Penguins are amazing!

South America’s climate is so varied! We went from seeing glaciers with temps in the 30s to tropical forests with temps in the 90s with high humidity! On our way to the falls, our tour guide encouraged us to look for toucans but told us they were pretty rare and it’s like winning the lottery if we see one. Well, we saw three! Two in one tree and another in a different area. (Maybe the guide was exaggerating?? :o)

I gotta get me a better camera lens that can get me closer!!!

You know I love me a good list! I have a waterfall list, a national parks list, and a lighthouse list. Maybe I’d better start a bird watching list! Here’s a plush crested jay I could add to that list.

That’s about enough NEW photos for today. We’re busy planning our next NEW adventures. I hope you have a great day and are able to do or learn something NEW to you, today!

  4. I agree with Charla that seeing a lighthouse counts for checking another off your list. I rarely go inside lighthouses- they don’t always have that option. Some are too tiny and some do not open to visitors. I love your penguins. The sound must have been marvelous when you were actually standing there. And the Toucan photos are just the best!! How wonderful you got to see such outstanding birds. I think the crested jay is also wonderful. I’m a huge fan of birds (and bird lists, ha ha).
