Woulaia Bay - Tierra del Fuego
Nov. 24th, 2008 10:36 pmDarwin was here! In 1831! This is my favorite panoramic from the Patagonia trip.
Can you spot all 4 zodiacs and the life jackets?
In 1831, Wulaia bay was the site of a very short-lived missionary settlement established by Richard Matthews. He was brought there by the Beagle which was captained by Robert Fitzroy. Charles Darwin was also on this voyage of the Beagle.
This bay may also have been the site of the boat theft on an earlier expedition of the Beagle that led to bad relations between the natives and Captain Fitzroy.
The last two columns (far right) were delayed by several minutes while we had a few minutes of silence to listen to the regions natural sounds. This shows just how quickly the weather can change in the region.
