Amalia Glacier


On Sunday, around 5:40 pm, we reached the beautiful Amalia Glacier.  This is located in southern Chile on the edge of Sarmiento Channel.  It is a tidewater glacier located within the massive Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. 

It seemed as if every passenger was on top of the ship waiting to arrive at the Amalia Glacier.  As we approached the area, you could see the massive, jagged mountains in the distance.  Coming upon the glacier, one was in awe at the eerie baby blue color.  The fresh air, the stillness of the bay and the coloration of the glacier took your breath away.  The ship made a complete turn-around so everyone had an opportunity to enjoy a picturesque view of the glacier.

As I looked at the glacier, all I could think about was the beauty of God’s creation and the opportunity I had to enjoy it.

After about an hour, the Captain gave the order and the ship proceeded out of the bay and on toward our next port of call, Puerto Montt.
