In 1978 I travelled through the Magellanes Region of Southern Chile with a friend of mine from the observatory where I was working. We flew from Santiago to Punta Arenas and then rented a car. In addition to my 35 mm cameras for color, I had a Minolta twin-lens reflex that I used for B&W photography. The images shown here are the best of those. They were made from a boat on Seno Ultima Esperanza, an overnight hike to Lago Grey from our base at a small inn on Lago Pehoe, and from just in front of the inn.
When I was there, aside from the little inn, there were no other buildings in the park other than some small huts for shelter. Now it appears that there are luxury accommodations at several places so that the pristine vistas we had are no longer possible.
The B&W negatives were scanned on an Epson 750M flatbed scanner with Laser Soft's program Silverfast Ai Studio 8 and then processed primarily with Lightroom 5. I do not have a record of the type of Kodak film I used, nor do I remember the make of the camera (it wasn't a Rollei).
