The Queen Mary II towers over the Stella Australis as the passenger ships converge off Cape Horn in southern Chile on February 11th. The 2,400-passenger Cunard liner did not land anyone on the fabled cape. But the Australis ship -- which visits Cape Horn more than any other vessel -- was able to put all of its 200 or so passengers safely ashore for a visit to the legendary landmark.
