Reloncavi fjord, at the northern end of Chilean Patagonia, looking towards the Andes.

Caption

There are a number of privately owned nature reserves on the shores of this and also neighbouring fjords. The biggest one is 50% bigger than England’s biggest national park (Lake District). The interesting thing is the diversity of owners – from foreign and Chilean millionaire philanthropists to corporations to ordinary local families to universities
