Almirantazgo Fjord, Glacial fjord in Magallanes Region, Chile.

The fjord stretches southeast from Whiteside Channel, creating a natural boundary between Isla Grande and Dawson Island in southern Chile.

British Captain Phillip Parker King discovered this substantial waterway during his maritime explorations of the Tierra del Fuego region in 1827.

The fjord supports local fishing communities who maintain traditional maritime practices while adapting to modern environmental conservation methods.

Boat tours from neighboring ports provide access to the fjord, with regular departures allowing visitors to observe elephant seal colonies.

The Marinelli Glacier feeds into Ainsworth Bay within the fjord, creating a rare combination of glacial formations and marine ecosystems.
