| | Cruising In The Wake Of Magellan |
 | | Established in 1978, Cruceros Maritimos Skorpios operates three cruise liners that range in size and luxury from the original Skorpios I, the smaller and older of the three ships, accommodating 72 passengers; to Skorpios II, 230 feet in length, accommodating 130 passengers; to the newest Skorpios III, largest and most luxurious member of the fleet. |
 | | On a typical trip, no more than seven to ten percent of passengers are from the U.S.--this is still unexplored territory for most Americans--a pity, as Chile is safe, sociable, and civilized and the attractions of its fjord-waterways are the equals of those in Scandinavia. |
 | | On a Skorpios cruise, the show begins when the lifeboats are lowered, just about everyone on board climbs on to half a dozen of these powered craft, and all motor through the multicolored, fantastically shaped ice floes of the lagoon up to less than 100 feet from the face of the glacier. |
