back in Punta Arenas, Chile

I finally landed in Punta Arenas yesterday afternoon after 3 days of traveling from Darwin (My penultimate post was prophetic:  I was not scheduled to stop in Puerto Montt, but my flight was turned around because of ice on the runway in Punta Arenas so we ended up spending a couple of hours in Puerto Montt). The RVIB (Research Vessel Ice Breaker) Nathaniel B. Palmer is an impressive looking ship. We are scheduled to set sail (no actual sails on this ship) August 1. It's been great catching up with some of the folks I got to know on AMLR 2011.
