Quite reasonably, we like to keep your infested produce out of our pristine environment!

That's handy being able to zodiac across the channel. I was there not long after the dispute about the islands east of Navarino and the amount of red tape required to get across made it impossible. When I did get to Navarino, on a second trip, I checked out the Dientes and also tried to get to the south of the island via a 'track' I was told the locals use. I got a lift east from Puerto Williams and then headed south up a river valley. There was no visble track just tape every few hundred metres. There was a lot of negotiating fallen trees and beaver dams. It was like heading cross-country in the Darrans only colder. Made it up to a beautiful camping spot in the alpine region with only a beaver (and I mean Castor canadensis) for company. I'd underestimated how tough the going would be so didn't make it to the south coast, but I have fond memories of Isla Navarino.
