Chris Burkard Instagram – The canyon shown above is home to the Rio Palena – a powerful river system teeming with salmon and trout that eventually feeds into the South Pacific traveling through 150 miles of striking landscapes. This particular night, i noticed a storm rolling in close to the @elevenexperience lodge and decided to put the drone up (despite significant wind) to capture the sunset and idyllic lenticular clouds that are commonly seen in Patagonia, brushed by wind swirling at high speeds. During this assignment, I also had the opportunity to spend a lot of time flying with @aeroalerce – affording me a more in depth intake of the landscape but still just an introduction into over 2,300 islands that sit off the coast of Chile and over 800 fjords. It’s still a little hard to process the sheer amount of landscape here and I’m excited to continue to explore it
