Patagonia: Puerto Natales


The long drive from the airport at El Calafate to the Chilean border, tantalising glimpses of flowers, birds and mountains.




Puerto Natales, home of the fossilised giant sloth, and many living birds, condors, rheas, caracaras.., as well as this unidentified cetacean, there were several, but fast and far enough for this to be a really lucky shot.




Some lupins are native, but these mostly blue ones are introduced, but still a fantastic sight along the roads, and not on a problem scale. 


Lake with apparently white or salty shore, but made from microbes, like the stromatolites in Australia
