Untold Story Of Magellan Strait

Straits of Magellan, is a navigable sea route separating mainland of South America to the north and Tierra del Fuego to the south. The strait is the most important natural passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans but it is considered a difficult route to navigate because of the unpredictable winds and currents and the narrowness of the passage. 

Given the chance to pass Magellan Strait on my second ship as a cadet, was a very big give to me from God. it like a chance to see the the beautiful environment ever created by our Great Maker. 

The strait did known as a place having four season in a day. Wasn't that a great thing?

Here i would like to share some of my picture during that memorable time.
