El Doradillo  

Perito Moreno y Patagonia - 100 years on.

with Germán Sopeña and friends: El Doradillo, 2000.

August 12, the day of Germán's CAPat lecture on Perito Moreno, in Puerto Madryn.

" The Bahía Nueva, near Chubut, in other times used to be a haven for countless whales
that brought happiness to the lonely region with their water games; - but one day, the whaling fleet found their shelter and witnesses have told me that the calm sea in the gulf vibrated
with the thrashing of these so enormous and so inoffensive animals, injured by harpoons; and that the water was covered in blood and oil. (more)
