Cape Horn

After crossing the Drake Passage back from Antarctica, we tried to make a landing at Isla Diego Ramirez where there are colonies of Macaroni and Rockhopper penguins. Unfortunately there was a gale force storm happening, that prevented us from even getting close to the island. After picking up a couple of Chilean ship pilots, we tried to do a landing at Cape Horn, but even though the storm had subsided significantly, it was apparently too windy to attempt a landing in the zodiacs.
