My week-long adventure in the circumpolar Urals has ended in the company of several other thrill seekers. A week without communication, Internet, civilization, and almost nothing at all.

Patagonia. Day two. Today we have a day ferry trip, we can say a motorcycle cruise along a huge fjord from the port of Puerto Montt to the small port town of Chaiten.
