Perito Moreno Glacier - Patagonia - Chile

Perito Moreno Glacier - Patagonia - Argentina We arrived in a peculiar little town called El Calafate, composed off one main street littered with tourist shops and outdoor wear. The following day we headed towards the glacier. Taking a boat trip to the front of it. Possibly the worst weather so far on the trip, fresh snow on the hill tops, freezing rain and wind..not a great combo when you have to get out onto the deck to take photos. My hands were numb and gloves soaked through. But forgetting the weather, the face of the glaciar a staggering 30 meters above water level and another 20 below. The staggering height of pure ice made the boat and us feel like little ants facing a fence. The pale blue tone and sound of cracking and falling ice was truely magical. We returned by boat and headed to a walkway which came close to the glaciar top and bottom, the weather began to clear and the ice became a shimmering white.
