Amalia Glacier

One mile from the glacier we stopped for about 40 minutes . The ship swung from port to starboard so those inside the dinning rooms or inside their staterooms could have an up close view of Amalia. The temperature was brisk at 11.8 Celsius! The views were panoramic!

Small icebergs floating around us.

According to Star Princess:

Amalia Glacier, Chile (Scenic Cruising)

Located in the central part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Fields, the Amalia Glacier descends from the Andes Mountains and sits towering above the sea. Because of the glacier's immense weight, the oxygen has been pressed out of the ice, giving it an amazingly beautiful crystalline appearance.

Glacial Wonders

The Amalia Glacier is one of three spectacular glaciers that are truly one-in-a-lifetime sights to behold. Approximately 73 square miles in area, the Amalia's mammoth blue mountain of ice is constantly changing, and like other glaciers, gradually shrinking.

Glacial Wildlife

The flora and fauna in this part of the world is also spectacular. You're likely to see all kinds of different bird species perched on cliffs and on branches in the forests. Offshore, you can frequently spot dolphins that often swim alongside the ships.
