Chile Navy marks Glorias Navales with mall exhibit and special train trip

Mall ZOFRI in Iquique will host the "Expo Mes del Mar" from May 14 to May 16, a free public exhibition celebrating the Glorias Navales. The display will feature interactive modules from the Chilean Navy, including the Marine Infantry, Maritime Police, Naval Health services, rescue units, and the North Aeronaval Group, as well as historic artifacts such as pieces from the corvette Esmeralda.
