Abstract

PUERTO MONTT - “Lets get out fast, or else we won’t leave here alive,” said Bernardita Llancapani to her husband, trying to stay upright in their fishing boat. All around, a violent storm pounded the gulf of Comau in the Province of Palena, Los Legos, Region. The launches seem like nutshells leaping across 4-and 5-m-high waves. Bernardita has got no time to be scared. All her thoughts are on her three- and five year old daughters waiting for them in Quiaca, on the Isle of Llancahué.
